CHO Air Service Announcement

 Two airlines will be making some changes in their current CHO service for the remainder of 2010.

  • 1. US Airways

Effective June 1, 2010: US Airways added a 7th daily Charlotte, NC departure flight (5th regional jet) at 0725 A.M arriving back at CHO at 11:18 A.M. US Airways accounts for over 50% of CHO's commercial traffic and Charlotte Douglas International Airport offers Central Virginian's a connection to hundreds of destinations worldwide.

  • 2. Delta Airlines

Effective August 1, 2010: Delta Airlines will discontinue its service to Detroit, MI. for the Fall quarter. Delta will be losing over 60 aircraft, including 33 regional jets, for the remainder of the year and most airports in the region with service to Cincinnati and Detroit are being reduced in frequency by 1 or 2. Of course CHO only has 1 (with a seasonal second flight) to Detroit.
