Mayor Rob Harrington vetoed a City Council decision that sought to postpone a vote on a new 10‑year lease agreement for Charlotte Douglas International Airport with American Airlines and other carriers.
The council had been divided, with members Dimple Ajmera, JD Mazuera Arias, Kimberly Owens, Renee Johnson, Victoria Watlington and Joi Mayo supporting the delay and members Ed Driggs, Malcolm Graham, Dante Anderson, LaWana Mayfield and James Mitchell opposing it; the lease vote is scheduled for two weeks later as originally planned, and the airlines have committed to a $2.1 billion capital program that includes an expanded atrium and Concourse C.
