Nearly seven years ago, Spirit Airlines began service at CLT and that unmistakable yellow became a familiar sight for millions passing through the Airport. After this departure, only one remains before we say goodbye.

36L/18R ➜ 1L/19R Last night, the first phase of CLT’s runway renumbering was completed as Runway 36L/18R officially became 1L/19R. It's a big task as runway numbers can measure 60 feet tall by 20 feet wide. In addition to pavement markings, signs need to be changed on the taxiways, connectors and runway. Why the change? With CLT’s new 10,000-foot Fourth Parallel Runway (1C/19C) set to open in 2027, the Airport is preparing now for system-wide consistency, safety and FAA compliance.

Last night, CLT completed its final runway redesignation returning our oldest and original runway to a familiar designation: Runway 18-36. When the runway opened in 1936, it was designated 18-36. In 1980 as CLT’s airfield grew, the runway became 18L-36R, a designation it carried for the next 46 years. Now, as we prepare for the opening of our Fourth Parallel Runway, it seems fitting that the runway where it all started has returned to where it started: 18-36.

CLT’s fourth parallel runway is taking shape. The 10,000-foot by 150-foot runway is steadily moving toward a planned opening in fall 2027, with work actively underway across the airfield. Crews are placing concrete, installing drainage systems and building out erosion control, while airfield electrical infrastructure comes online in multiple areas. This project goes beyond the runway itself. It includes a new Charlotte Fire Station and the renumbering of existing runways, all part of preparing CLT for continued growth.
