Pam McAllister, Tac Air’s general managerA long-simmering dispute between the Chattanooga Airport and a business operating at Lovell Field boiled over Monday before the airport authority board.
A TAC Air official charged that airport officials are so concerned about challenging her company’s business that they are neglecting maintenance at the facility.
“I think the airport is getting away from the fundamentals of airport operations,” said Pam McAllister, the company’s general manager in Chattanooga.
She said grass hasn’t been cut, airport aprons aren’t being swept and public bathroom doors and fixtures are broken.
“That’s what the public sees when they fly from Chattanooga Airport,” McAllister said.
