Other Projects

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration in April 2022 dedicated and commissioned a new air traffic control tower at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

The 370-foot-tall air traffic control tower has an 850-square-foot tower cab that provides air traffic controllers a bird’s-eye view of the airfield. At the base, a 42,000-square-foot building houses an expanded terminal radar approach control (TRACON) that handles flights departing and arriving in the Charlotte airspace. Both are designed to accommodate current and future operations.
