Today, Breeze Airways announced the return of nonstop service between
Charleston International Airport (CHS) and Los Angeles, California (LAX).  The twice weekly (Friday
and Monday) summer seasonal flights begin May 3, 2024.
 
“We are excited to once again expand access for passengers traveling to and from California," said
Elliott Summey, CEO of Charleston International Airport.  Service to Los Angeles from Charleston
International Airport continues to be a key strategic objective for Team CHS that will allow both
business and leisure travelers convenient access to and from one of the most important airport
gateways to the world.”
 
“We’re thrilled to bring back nonstop service between Los Angeles and Charleston this summer,”
said Breeze Airways’ President Tom Doxey. “LA and Charleston are two of the most popular cities
in the country for visitors and traveling between them is twice as nice when it’s a nonstop flight.”
 
"Breeze has been a wonderful partner for the Charleston region, and their confidence in our market
is further illustrated by today's announcement of transcontinental service. California is one of our
top states of visitor inquiry in the western U.S. Being able to fly nonstop from LAX to Charleston will
both serve Californians interested in the Lowcountry and provide another nonstop west coast route
for Charleston area residents," said Helen Hill, CEO of Explore Charleston and Chair of the Aviation
