A powerful winter storm affecting the Northeast has ripple effects at Charleston International Airport (CHS) in North Charleston, South Carolina, causing widespread flight delays and cancellations for Lowcountry travelers.
Passenger Experiences
Mason Dolan faced repeated cancellations—originally to Baltimore, then rerouted to Chicago, Denver, and finally Nashville at 7 p.m.—after his early Friday flight was scrapped overnight. Linda Schemmel and her husband dealt with nearly an hour’s delay on a Chicago connection to Iowa, as their inbound plane turned back mid-flight due to weather impacting hubs.
Airport Operations
Departure boards showed major disruptions, with quiet terminals as airlines notified stranded passengers; staff received praise for efficient rebooking. This ties into broader Lowcountry updates: schools normal today, Sullivan’s Island roads dry despite drizzle advisory, and a separate Moncks Corner mosque shooting under investigation with no public threat.
