Chattanooga AirportChattanooga Airport plans to add 300 parking spaces at its commercial passenger terminal, officials said today.
“We have seen a steady increase in customers parking in our lots over the last few years and have reached the point where an expansion is critical,” said Terry Hart, airport president.
Hart said plans are to tear down a former TAC Air hangar to make room for the spaces.
“We have reviewed all options for parking expansion and removing Hangar 3 makes the most sense as it is located adjacent to the existing intermediate parking lot and requires a tremendous amount of maintenance in its present condition.”
According to airport officials, the hangar was built in 1951 and would need extensive work to bring it up to current building codes.
