McGhee Tyson Airport

McGhee Tyson Airport, located 12 miles south of downtown Knoxville, Tenn., is the premier airport in East Tennessee. The airport is served by eight airlines -primarily regional jet services - providing nonstop flights to 17 destinations. US Airways offers the most daily nonstop departures to Charlotte, New York/LaGuardia, Pittsburgh and Washington National. The airport completed a $70 million renovation and expansion project of its main terminal and concourses in the fall of 2000. The project included the construction of two new concourses, gates, ticket counters, elevators and escalators, passenger loading bridges, restrooms, gift shops and the first Ruby Tuesday airport restaurant in the nation. The project also included a 115 foot indoor mountain stream reminiscent of those found in the nearby Smokey Mountains.
