South Carolina Aeronautics

South Carolina maintains a well-established system of commercial airports that represents an essential component of the state’s transportation infrastructure. There are currently six publicly owned commercial service airports located across the state that collectively board (or enplane) more than 5 million passengers each year for destinations across the globe, including both South Carolina residents and visitors. Among these passengers, more than 2.5 million visitors are estimated to arrive in South Carolina on a commercial airline each year. This level of activity directly supports tourism in the Palmetto State, which has long been among the state’s largest industries.

It’s never too early to begin development of tomorrow’s Aviation and Aerospace workforce.  South Carolina Aeronautics is dedicated to meeting this challenge by providing grants and promoting programs to assist K-12 and Technical College educators in meeting this urgent need.
