Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (IATA: CHA, ICAO: KCHA), also known as Lovell Field, is a public airport operated by the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport Authority, located in the city of Chattanooga in Hamilton County, Tennessee, USA.

Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport has a single concourse. Commercial service is provided by connection carriers for several major airlines.

Airport administrators have launched several marketing campaigns to combat the large number of Chattanooga leisure travelers who opt to fly from Nashville International Airport or Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Each of these airports is served by low fare carriers and is about a two hour drive from the Chattanooga area.
