The Chattanooga Airport has completed a $28 million terminal renovation and expansion that added 26,000 square feet to the terminal and included renovating 36,000 square feet of existing concourse.
The expansion also includes two new gates, an additional passenger loading bridge, an expanded security checkpoint, more restrooms and concessions and a new business center with 10 gigabit Wi-Fi provided by EPB.
Delta will operate from new gates seven and eight, and the new bridge at gate six will support additional flights and routes as the airport continues to grow its destination base. New concessions include 2,570 square feet of post-security restaurant space with 60 seats in the dining area and 20 bar seats.
Through December 2023, Chattanooga Airport boardings are up 13% compared to the same time last year.
Funding for the expansion project came from three sources: approximately $17.5 million was federal grant money, while $3 million came from airport funds and $7.6 million was collected through the airport’s passenger facility fee.
Local builders J&J Contractors of Chattanooga led construction of the expansion while engineers Allen & Hoshall performed the engineering and management of the project. DH&W led architecture and interior planning for the terminal expansion and renovation.
The project built on phase one of the airport’s master plan, which included the $25 million four-level parking garage that was completed in 2021.
