Flights to Chattanooga
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Chattanooga is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) (CHA), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,400 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) (regional) | CHA | 10 km (6 mi) | 7,400 ft | 683 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,400 ft, CHA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 683 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
