US Airways Adding Service From Rochester

US Airways is adding a non-stop flight from Rochester to Charlotte. The new service begins on February 13th.

With the new flight, US Airways will now have two daily non-stop flights from Rochester to Charlotte.

Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks says that Charlotte ranks high among the top destinations for travelers departing from the Rochester Airport.  Last year, US Airways carried just over 17 percent of the passenger traffic from Rochester.

The new flight will be on an Airbus jet offering both first-class and coach seating.

Before retiring in March 2025, Randy Gorbman was WXXI's director of news and public affairs and managed the day-to-day operations of WXXI News on radio, television, and online.
