CHARLOTTE — Delta Air Lines takes a bigger stake at the Charlotte Douglas Airport with the newest addition to the international destination.
The expanded Concourse A will feature seven dedicated Delta Air Lines gates and three common-use gates.
As of Nov. 18, construction workers are putting in drywall and doors for the second phase of the expansion.
The 200,000-square-foot expansion began in 2018 and will open in fall 2024.
When Channel 9 first covered the complete expansion plan in 2018, deputy aviation director Jack Christine said the addition is being built to keep up with increasing demand.

The project cost $231 million, paid by state grants and bonds.
