Renovations on Concourse D at Charlotte Douglas International Airport are expected to begin in January, an airport spokesperson tells Axios.
Why it matters: Concourse D handles international flights at one of the world's busiest airports. CLT officials expect 2024 to be a record-breaking year for passenger traffic.

What to expect: Improvements will encompass 99,000 square feet and include fully renovated restrooms, seating with device charging capabilities, and upgraded interiors (wall finishes, ceilings, lighting, carpet and paint).
By the numbers: The project is expected to cost roughly $42.8 million, which Charlotte City Council approved in initial contracts in 2023.
