Concourse A Expansion is the first major addition to Charlotte Douglas International Airport in 15 years. The new nine gate concourse creates a new dynamic architectural expression for CLT.  The concourse services regional flights for local residents and is “the hometown concourse”, acting as a gateway to the terminal along its main vehicular boulevard. The dynamic roofline is a sleek airfoil shape, referencing takeoff. The asymmetrical section opens to the north to allow for maximum daylight, providing uninterrupted views to the airfield. Dynamically-lit metal fins create a harmonious tie between new and existing along the pedestrian connector.
