CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – Charleston International Airport is monitoring the potential for winter weather impacts this coming week. Airport officials are in contact with their airline partners to keep flights on schedule, and they are working with local and state partners to ensure safe operations. Forecasters are anticipating a winter weather event to impact much of the Lowcountry region on Tuesday into Wednesday, which could include snow, sleet, or freezing rain. “It's really the icing event is what we're obviously concerned about,” said Elliott Summey, Executive Director & CEO of the Charleston International Airport. “We've bought the right equipment in. We've got the right chemical equipment as well to be able to break up that ice quickly, keep the runways open and keep the roads open.” Brian Query, Director of Airport Operations at Charleston International Airport, said preparation for winter weather began months ago to make sure they had resources in place to keep operations moving. “We have a plan in place for these types of things, and as it gets closer, we start shoring it up,” he said. “We started talking with the airlines yesterday. I've talked to the Joint Base Charleston a couple of times. We've talked to the FAA tower already.” The airport said travelers should check with their individual airlines for flight updates and iflychs.com for travel advisories.
