HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — More flights are coming to Huntington Tri-State Airport thanks to American Airlines.
The airline announced earlier this week that beginning in September 2023, American Airlines will be operating three daily, direct flights between Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) and Huntington Tri-State (HTS).
Huntington Tri-State recently completed the Soar Campaign, with a goal of gaining additional routes to and from the airport. With the monetary goal reached for the campaign, the airport will continue to seek more routes added with their various carriers.
“They (American Airlines) applauded the community engagement with our Soar campaign and have made a commitment to our region for more convenience and flexibility by adding this third daily flight to Charlotte,” said Brent Brown, Executive Director of the Huntington Tri-State Airport.
Early morning, late morning, and early evening options will be available for passengers flying American Airlines between Huntington and Charlotte.
“A positive for our schedule is that American is committing to a RON, or Remain Overnight flight, that allows for those great connection times to and from Charlotte,” said Brown. “With these new flight times and the addition of the third flight, it’s critical that travelers choose Huntington Tri-State for their connections to the rest of the world.”
