History
Early years In 1936, the Charlotte Municipal Airport opened and was operated by the City of Charlotte. Eastern Airlines began its first regularly scheduled passenger service in 1937. The United States Army Air Forces took control of the airport and established Morris Field Air Base in 1941. The United States Army Air Forces, or USAAF, was a part of the U.S. military during World War II. The direct precursor to the U.S. Air Force, the USAAF formally existed between 1941 and 1947. ...
Growth United Airlines began regularly scheduled passenger service in 1950. A new 70,000 square-foot passenger terminal opened in 1954. The airport becomes Douglas Municipal Airport in honor of former Charlotte Mayor Ben Elbert Douglas, Sr. The terminal itself had two floors, although passenger operations were confined to the ground floor. Ticketing and baggage claim were located on each side of an open space which bisected the building from north to south. The mezzanine restaurant and various airline offices looked out on this open space. Delta Air Lines began regularly scheduled passenger service in 1956. Eastern Airlines began the region's first regularly scheduled jet service in 1962. Eastern used the west pier, Piedmont and Delta the center pier, and United and Southern the east pier. United Airlines, the major subsidiary of UAL Corporation, is a major airline of the United States. ...

A major renovation project in the late 1960s expanded the facility considerably. Eastern opened a 'unit terminal' in 1967, replacing the old west pier. This new facility had 8 dedicated gates for Eastern, each with its own departure lounge, as well as a snack bar and separate baggage claim space. Eastern passengers continued to check in at the main terminal.
Two years later in 1969, a new enclosed concourse was built parallel to the center pier. When it was completed, Piedmont, Eastern and Delta moved in and the old center pier was demolished. The new concourse also had separate departure lounges, as well as restrooms and an enlarged baggage claim area. United's flights continued to the use the east pier, although an enclosed holdroom was added for waiting passengers.
In 1973, Eastern added two more gates to the end of its west concourse.
After airline deregulation in 1978, passenger numbers at the terminal nearly doubled between 1978 and 1980. A new 10,000-foot parallel runway and control tower were opened in 1979 to handle the increased passenger loads. The airport's master plan also called for construction of a new terminal across the runway from the existing site. Ground was broken in 1979. President Jimmy Carter signs the Airline Deregulation Act. ...
A major development occurred in 1979, when Piedmont Airlines picked Charlotte as a hub for its rapidly expanding airline. To accommodate the booming growth of the facility, a new 325,000-square-foot passenger terminal opened in 1982, and the airport was renamed Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
The old terminal site was converted a cargo center in the mid-1980s. The central concourse and Eastern 'unit terminal' were removed to make way for larger, more modern cargo buildings. The original main building still stands, however, and are used for office space. The old control tower was removed in the late 1990's.
In 1987, Piedmont Airlines began direct international service to London. Two years later, USAir completed a merger with Piedmont Airlines, forming what is today called US Airways. Piedmont Airlines is a regional airline operating under the name US Airways Express for US Airways. ...
