Ribbon-Cutting Officially Opens New With a snip of scissors, the ribbon was cut and the new C Gates were opened at Tucson International Airport (TUS) on Monday (January 7, 2019). Passengers will start using the building Thursday when Allegiant is scheduled to begin operations there. Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild, Visit Tucson President and CEO Brent DeRaad, Tucson Airport Authority Board Secretary Bruce Dusenberry and TAA President and CEO Bonnie Allin presided over the ceremonies and were joined by representatives of DLR Group Architects and S D Crane Builders. Mayor Rothschild, who has championed the efforts to bring Allegiant Air and other ultra low cost airlines to Tucson, said the new facilities helped make it possible for airlines to grow service to new destinations, which is good for the tourism industry as well as for Tucsonans who want to go to more destinations. In fact, Rothschild suggested the new facilities be called Terminal T for tourism one of his core pillars for Tucson. Starting Thursday, January 10, passengers leaving from gate C1 should go to the new facility, which is separate and about 300 feet west of the airport’s main terminal. Long-time users of the airport may remember it as the former International Terminal until 2008. The building now also houses U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry Enrollment office. So far, only Allegiant has opted to use the new C Gates facility on a regular basis but other airlines may follow and it can also be an option for charter flights. The TAA is looking at the possibility of expanding the C Gates facility in the future. In the meantime, passengers departing from the C Gates should know:

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
