About
Arriving at Charleston International Airport
Charleston International shares its facilities with Joint Base Charleston, but the passenger terminal is separate and easy to navigate. The single terminal handles all commercial flights, and moderate passenger volumes keep things moving smoothly.
The airport sits in North Charleston off I-26, about 12 miles from the historic downtown peninsula. The drive can vary depending on I-26 traffic, especially during tourist season when Charleston's popularity means heavier road congestion. A landing alert helps you time the drive and avoid a long wait at the curb.
Pickup tip
CHS is 12 miles northwest of downtown Charleston. The single terminal makes pickups simple, but I-26 traffic toward the peninsula can be slow. Wait for a landing text before heading out.
