Enhanced Housekeeping
Airport housekeeping is 24/7 but has ramped up to monitor cleanliness throughout the terminal and special attention is given to those places that you touch often.

Social Distancing
The CDC has suggested that keeping your distance from other people reduces the risk of spreading viruses through coughing, sneezing or close contact.

Masks
Masks are no longer required at CLT. The CDC, however, recommends wearing one in indoor transportation settings. The choice is yours.

Healthy Air
Hospital grade MERV-13 air filters and bipolar ionization have been integrated into CLT’s heating, ventilation and cooling systems to create cleaner air throughout our facilities.

UV Sanitation
UV-C light sanitizes one of most frequently touched places in the Airport – the handrails of our escalators and moving sidewalks. UV-C lights eliminate harmful bacteria on surfaces as the moving handrails pass through a hidden mechanical device.

Temperature Checks
Please check with your airline for details on whether temperature checks are required to travel.
