“It is rare in Charleston for an airline to announce an expansion before the start of their service but our friends at Breeze Airways have done just that. This increase in service to Los Angeles is great news for the airport but especially for the Lowcountry and our passengers,” said Elliott Summey, executive director and CEO of Charleston International Airport, in the release.

“We’ve known for some time that there is considerable demand for travel between our two  destinations,” said Helen Hill, CEO of Explore Charleston and Board Chair of  the Aviation Authority, in the release. “Expanding this transcontinental service to four times a week increases the convenience  and accessibility of travel for both local residents and visitors, and we appreciate Breeze so quickly  enhancing its investment in this route.”
