Chattanooga Airport Board Battle | Chattanooga News

Chattanooga’s airport is locked in a high-stakes legal battle over who really runs it—state lawmakers vs. the mayor’s locally appointed board. A new state law grants more control, but the mayor argues it’s unconstitutional. The first court hearing didn’t settle the dispute, but set a June trial date where a judge will decide legitimacy.

With depositions and motions looming, the community braces for a messy but crucial legal showdown that could reshape local governance.
