What our own 30-day measurement shows
Over a 30-day period, our own reception measurement recorded an average of 27.9 movements per day at the Charlotte airport. Next to that figure stands the label our database gives the airport, busy, and the two are separate facts: the label is the traffic level in our data, the 27.9 is what our reception measurement recorded.
One detail stands out in that data: the busiest window at CLT fell between 00:00 and 02:00. Note that our measurement clock runs in UTC, not local Charlotte time, so this window reflects the airport's rhythm as recorded in our measurement rather than what a wall clock at the terminal would show. If you are picking someone up or catching a late flight, the arrivals and departures pages linked under the radar remain the place to confirm the actual timing of your flight.
