American Airlines will restart two nonstop flights from Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) to Philadelphia and Washington, DC, beginning Friday.
Flights will operate daily to Philly and 4 days a week to DC.
“Slowly but surely we are seeing our airline partners bring routes back online after removing them due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the sudden halt in air travel,” said Air Service Development Director for CAE, Kim Jamieson. “These routes are crucial to our air service offerings for the local community and we’re excited to see them return to pre-pandemic status.”
Last month United Airlines resumed its daily, nonstop service to Chicago.
Here are CAE's nonstop services to 9 destinations and 10 airports:
-Philadelphia (American Airlines)
-Washington, DC/Reagan National (American Airlines)
-Atlanta (Delta Air Lines)
-Charlotte, (American Airlines)
-Chicago (United Airlines)
-Dallas-Fort Worth (American Airlines)
-Fort Lauderdale (Silver Airways)
-Orlando (Silver Airways)
-Tampa (Silver Airways)
-Washington, DC/Dulles (United Airlines)
CAE's nonstop flights to New York (LGA) and Miami, (MIA) are still offline at this time, officials said.
“As we regain air service, we encourage the local community and the business community to return to air travel as soon as they feel comfortable,” said Executive Director of CAE, Mike Gula. “We are hopeful that as more and more individuals get vaccinated, air travel will strengthen as a result.”
