Southwest Opens New Ticket Counter at CHS
Mez Joseph
Southwest Airlines opened its new ticket counter at Charleston International Airport — another step in the airport’s ongoing $189 million Terminal Redevelopment and Improvement Project.
The new check-in counter is adjacent to the consolidated security checkpoint, which opened in April. The old Southwest ticket counter will be renovated for Delta Air Lines. Delta’s move this fall will complete the ticketing hall renovations.
JetBlue and United Airlines were the first to move to renovated ticket counters in December, followed by American Airlines, US Airways, Porter Airlines and Silver Airways in March.
Through construction, the airport terminal will grow from approximately 330,000 square feet to 429,000 square feet.
Most of the terminal renovation is expected to be complete by the end of the year. Work on the Concourse A renovations,including a clerestory feature, will be completed in early 2016.
