Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) is American Airlines’ second-largest hub, sitting about 8 miles west of Uptown Charlotte.
One Terminal, Five Concourses
CLT is built around a single terminal building with five concourses, A through E and 124 gates, connected by a walkable atrium rather than an airside train.
No Rail Link, So Plan for a Drive
Unlike some hubs its size, CLT has no direct rail connection to Uptown; CATS buses, taxis, and rideshare cover the roughly 15 to 20 minute trip instead.
A Major Connecting Hub
As American’s second-largest hub after Dallas Fort Worth, CLT carries heavy connecting traffic, so build in extra time if your itinerary involves a tight layover here.
