“Charleston<\/span> International Airport is delighted to welcome the addition of\u00a0Toronto\u00a0as an international destination, made possible by the introduction of Air Canada’s daily flights providing a seamless link between Canada’s<\/span> largest metropolitan area and\u00a0the Charleston Lowcountry. Not only does the new service connect two of the top cosmopolitan destinations worldwide, renowned for their extraordinary landmarks, rich culture, entertainment and leisure adventures, this route offers customers unmatched travel options and conveniences, whether travelling for leisure, visiting friends and family, or for business,” said Elliott Summey<\/span>, Executive Director and CEO at Charleston<\/span> International Airport.<\/p>\n

“Air Canada’s<\/span> announcement is a major milestone for our industry, the Charleston<\/span> region and beyond. International visitation is integral to a healthy and sustainable tourism economy. While Canada<\/span> is consistently our top country of origin for international visitors, we know there is tremendous untapped potential in the market. Beyond increasing access for leisure travelers, the daily, nonstop service creates more opportunity to recruit group business and provides improved connectivity for Charleston<\/span> area residents traveling to Canada<\/span> and other international destinations served through Air Canada’s Toronto<\/span> hub,” said Helen Hill<\/span>, CEO of Explore Charleston and Chair of the Aviation Authority Board.<\/p>\n
