Starting June 2026, Charlotte travelers will have a direct, year-round flight to Columbia, Missouri—home to the University of Missouri and a vibrant college scene. This new American Airlines route means no more layovers for students, families, or anyone wanting to explore the Midwest from Charlotte Douglas International. It’s a big win for both cities, making visits easier and potentially boosting local business and tourism. How do you think this new connection will impact our community? Would you use this route for school, work, or a getaway? #News #CharlotteNC #TravelNews
