CHS getting nonstop service to London in 2019
Charleston travelers will be able to fly nonstop to London aboard a 787-8 Dreamliner starting next year, marking the state’s first trans-Atlantic service.
British Airways plans to offer twice-weekly flights between London’s Heathrow Airport and Charleston International Airport beginning April 4. The seasonal service will run through October, at which point the airline will evaluate whether to continue, increase or halt the service.
A large cohort of airport and airline officials, business executives, economic developers and elected leaders gathered at Charleston International Airport today for the announcement. Many speakers called the flight “a game changer” for the airport and the Lowcountry.
