Airport Tours Offer Behind-The-Scenes Experience

Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) tours provide an insider’s view of one of the country’s largest airports.

And learn about the Airport’s impact on the Charlotte region. The Aviation Department offers a limited number of airfield and terminal tours each month for interested groups.

Tours can be reserved up to three months in advance.
