CLT airport is located approximately five miles from uptown Charlotte, the city’s growing financial district. Often regarded as an alternative to Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, CLT Charlotte airport provides over 500 daily departures to 120 non-stop destinations including international cities such as Frankfurt, London, Mexico City and numerous destinations in the Caribbean.
