Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport officials said today they plan to build $10 million in new facilities to better serve general aviation and commercial fueling operations.
Plans are to issue a request for proposals to construct the facilities on eight acres on the west side of the airport.
The facilities will include a new fueling center and a 9,000 square foot general aviation terminal and office complex for pilots and businesses, officials said.
Also, a 12,000 square foot hangar facility is to be constructed.
Mike Landguth, the airport’s president, said that the new fixed-based operator facilities will provide more competition at the airport.
