Hilton Head Island Airport Completes Expansion

July 09, 2018

(Hilton Head Island, SC - July 5, 2018)  Hilton Head Island Airport is celebrating the completion of an expansion project that lengthened the airport runway to 5,000 feet.   The project also involves the introduction of a new regularly scheduled commercial jet service. 

Three arrival and departure flights from Charlotte Douglas International Airport have been currently scheduled with hopes for future destination and flight additions.   The first of these flights, American Eagle Flight 4529, received a warm Lowcountry welcome after touching ground shortly before 10 a.m on July 5th.

The newly expanded runway marks a historic day for growth in Beaufort County.  The improvements to the airport make way for more efficient access to the #1 island in the continental United States and also provide sky high growth potential to the Lowcountry.
