Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field)
Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport, long known locally as Lovell Field, made aviation headlines in the early 2010s by becoming one of the first commercial airports in the United States to draw all of its electricity from an on-site solar array, a sprawling installation built on adjacent land once used for other purposes. The airport sits along the Tennessee River amid the ridges and valleys of southeastern Tennessee, close to the Georgia state line and the scenic overlooks of Lookout Mountain. Scheduled jet service connects the city to several major hubs, supporting a regional economy that has shifted from its manufacturing roots toward tourism, healthcare, and logistics. Chattanooga's compact downtown and riverfront revitalization lie only a short drive from the terminal.
