The museum will be open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

“After years of hard work and dedication from our incredible staff and Board of Directors, as well as an unwavering belief in our mission from generous corporate donors, individual donors, and elected officials, we could not be more excited to open the doors to Sullenberger Aviation Museum,” Museum Board Chair Tim Miller said. “This project would not have been possible without the support of our volunteers, especially our Board Chair Emeritus Marc Oken, who cast a new vision, assembled an amazing team, and led the Museum’s $34 million fundraising effort.”

The new facility is expected to bring in more than 120,000 people in the first year, and an estimated $5.2 million in economic impact to the Charlotte region.
