Florence to Increase Air Traffic with Additional Daily Flight by American Airlines

FLORENCE, S.C. — A Boost in Travel Convenience for Commuters

In an exciting announcement, the Greater Florence Chamber declared on June 27th, 2024 that American Airlines is set to add another daily flight in and out of the Florence Regional Airport. This change, commencing from August 7, is part of an effort to provide improved convenience and cost savings to travelers using the local airport.

Complementing the existing early morning, midday, and evening flights through Florence, the inbound and outbound flights will result in shorter layover times. This increase in flight frequency will in turn offer travelers more choices in terms of flexible connection options, making the transition through Charlotte smoother than ever.

The Role of the Pee Dee Regional Airport Authority

The expansion of flights falls under the purview of the Pee Dee Regional Airport Authority. This body holds the responsibility of exercising and performing the corporate powers and duties of the Pee Dee Regional Airport District. The authority comprises nine members, with representation from the City of Florence, Florence County, and the counties of Marion and Dillon.

Improved Connectivity Benefit Commuters and Boosts Tourism

With this move, not only does Florence increase its connectivity with major hubs but also increases its appeal as a travel destination. American Airlines’ decision to add another daily flight showcases the growing demand for travel to and from Florence and the increasing trust in Florence Regional Airport’s services. Since the announcement, there has been a noticeable positive response from both local residents and frequent flyers, appreciating the action as a significant step towards improving Florence’s position on the global aviation map.
