Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport - TYS

Main Terminal

Knoxville McGhee Tyson Airport consists of the main terminal that covers two levels. The Lower Level is connected to the Short-Term Parking via a covered walkway. Car rental counters are just past the main entrance and then a number of services, including first aid, security, information, and rest rooms are on this level. Escalators and elevators take passengers to the second floor for check-in, security, and the twelve gates.

Upstairs, passengers must go down the stairs outside just across from the Upper Roadway to reach Short-Term Parking via a covered walkway. The main portion of the terminal is rectangular in shape, but a short hallway, just past security checkpoints, brings passengers to the concourse where all of the gates and waiting areas are located. Passengers will find a post office, Ruby Tuesday, restrooms, Check-In, and pay phones in this area.

Gates 1 through 12 serve a number of airlines. Delta Airlines flies to and from Gates 1, 3, and 5. Allegiant Air uses Gate 2. Gate 4 is for those flying on American Airlines. Gate 7 is for all United Airlines flights. Gates 8 and 10 serve US Airways. Gates 9 and 11 handle all Continental Airlines flights. Finally, Gate 12 handles all Northwest Airlines flights. For now, the airport does not have any flights scheduled for Gate 6, but as flights or airlines are added, this may change.
