Wow: Charlotte Douglas International Airport Gains 187th Destination With New Canadian Route

Charlotte is the world’s fifth-busiest airport by flights. On a typical August day, 775 scheduled passenger flights take off (double for both ways), based on analyzing Cirium schedules data. As this is an average, half of the days will have more departures, and half will have fewer. American Airlines and its regional unit, American Eagle, account for 87% of services. Charlotte is among the world’s most extreme fortress hubs.
