Airport Volunteers Return to the Terminal
Airport Volunteers are back in the building. Dressed in bright yellow shirts, they’re available to answer questions and point passengers in the right direction.
The Airport Volunteer Program was suspended in mid-March 2020 due to COVID-19. This year, however, many volunteers were eager to return. The Airport’s goal was to bring them back safely.
Volunteers are following COVID-19 safety guidelines, which include wearing a mask, washing their hands often and social distancing when possible. Their return will be implemented in phases over the next several months.
In 2019, volunteers donated 9,295 hours and assisted 301,725 customers, an average of more than 800 flyers daily.

Fewer than 50 spots are left for the 2021 return of the CLT Runway 5K.

The Runway 5K takes place at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 23. This year’s course is entirely on CLT’s taxiways and one of CLT’s four runways. There will be great views of the airfield and picturesque photo opportunities.
Proceeds from the run will help fund a Central Piedmont Community College Airport Opportunity Scholarship designed to promote careers in aviation and economic opportunities in Charlotte for local students.
