CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolinas Aviation Museum will span three buildings when it reopens at Charlotte Douglas International Airport — a reopening that has been delayed to 2023, at the earliest, from an anticipated completion date in 2022.

According to recently filed plans with the city, the museum will encompass a 10,500-square-foot existing hangar, a new 5,000-square-foot welcome center and a 45,000-square-foot main gallery with exhibit and education areas.

Architecture and engineering firm Progressive AE and exhibit creator Freeman Ryan Design are helping with plans for the new museum.
