McGhee Tyson Airport is getting ready to expand and they are looking for input on what should be added or changed.
So far this year, McGhee Tyson Airport has served more than 1.5 million passengers.
Caitlin Darras with McGhee Tyson tells our news partner WVLT this is why the airport decided to let passengers take a survey so management will know what passengers like or would like to change.
They noticed a need for more parking and gates were a common reoccurrence.
“So, this construction project and the planning right now is going to take us well into the future so we’re doing the parking garage expansion project that will be the first project right now and then we’re looking forward to a gate expansion so adding 6,12, 30 gates in the future,” said Darras.
Darras says this expansion is needed as Knoxville continues to grow and more people choose to fly in and out of McGhee Tyson.
She said this could mean welcoming even more airlines in the future as well.
Darras says airplanes are almost 90% full and parking garages are at capacity during some peak times.
The deadline to offer input is September 1.
