 Charleston, SC, Feb 22 -
Congressman Henry E. Brown Jr. (R-SC), a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, welcomed today’s announcement that low-fare carrier AirTran Airways will begin service between Charleston and Atlanta beginning May 24, and issued the following statement:
“I am pleased by AirTran’s decision to commence service between Charleston and Atlanta and welcome this new business partner to the Lowcountry. As one of the nation’s top tourist destinations, I am encouraged by their decision to offer another option for our visitors. This is also great news for area residents seeking economical air travel alternatives.
I look forward to the May startup of AirTran’s operations and anticipate their future expansion to meet our growing demand.”
According to AirTran officials, Charleston was among the top responses to their recent online survey that asked consumers, “Where do you want low fares next?” The result was the addition of Charleston as the carrier’s 55th destination. “AirTran Airways is committed to offering quality service based on the feedback of our customers,” said Tad Hutcheson, Vice President of Marketing and Sales. “We are excited to bring AirTran Airways’ service to travelers here in Charleston.”
