About
The Charleston County Aviation Authority (CCAA) is a special‑purpose district that owns and operates Charleston International Airport (CHS), Charleston Executive Airport (JZI) on Johns Island, and Mount Pleasant Regional Airport (LRO). Established in 1970, the Authority is responsible for the management, operation, and development of all public airports within the Charleston County Airport District, working closely with the Federal Aviation Administration and the South Carolina Aeronautics Commission to ensure safe, efficient, and future‑ready air travel services. Governed by an 11‑member board appointed by state legislators, the governor, and local city and county councils, the CCAA provides strategic oversight and community representation. This structure enables the Authority to deliver reliable airport infrastructure, support regional economic growth, and maintain high standards of service for airlines, passengers, and aviation partners.
