SMYRNA, Tenn., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Contour Airlines today announced the launch of daily nonstop service between Williamsport Regional Airport (IPT) and Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), beginning October 19, 2026.
The new route will provide travelers throughout Williamsport and the surrounding region with nonstop access to Charlotte, where they can connect to hundreds of destinations across the United States and beyond through Contour’s partner airlines. Daily service will offer added flexibility for both business and leisure travel, while giving the region a convenient option to begin their journey closer to home.
For the Williamsport community, the addition of daily Charlotte service provides an option for reaching destinations worldwide. The route also expands the role of Williamsport Regional Airport as a convenient gateway for travelers throughout the region.
“We’re excited to bring daily nonstop service between Williamsport and Charlotte and provide the community a convenient way to reach destinations across the country,” said Ben Munson, President of Contour Airlines. “This route gives travelers in the Williamsport region an easy connection to Charlotte and the many destinations available from there, while also making air travel more accessible for those who live and work in the area.”
The new service builds on the airport’s commitment to providing convenient, reliable air service for travelers throughout North Central Pennsylvania.

The partnership also brings expanded connectivity and new travel options to the region, with Charlotte providing a convenient gateway for passengers traveling beyond the local market.
“This is a tremendous win for our region,” said Frank Pellegrino, Chairman of the Williamsport Municipal Airport Authority Board. “By introducing 30-seat regional jets and targeting Charlotte as our core hub destination, this partnership allows us to offer longer routes and a much better overall experience for business and leisure travelers alike.”
