Yeager Airport Announces Orlando Flight



Charleston's Yeager Airport could soon get you a little closer to Mickey Mouse.

People Express Airlines is now offering a direct flight to Orlando Florida from Yeager Airport

The airport made the announcement Wednesday during a news conference.

The flight starts October 16. The 134-seat aircraft will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The flight will depart Orlando International (MCO) at 1:15 p.m. and arrive at Yeager Airport (CRW) at 3:10 p.m. The flight will leave Charleston at 3:50 p.m. and arrive in Orlando at 6 p.m.

The airline is offering an introductory one-way fare for $49 if you book within the next 48 hours. After that the normal fare will be $79 one-way.


Airport officials have been working to get a direct Orlando flight since 2012 when Airtran Airways discontinued its flight from Yeager Airport.
