LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - A few months ago, American Airlines dropped flights in fifteen U.S. cities, including Lake Charles, but it’s making a comeback.
The percentage of people traveling by plane still isn’t what it was before the pandemic.
Executive Director for the Lake Charles Regional Airport Heath Allen says the Lake Area is a bit of a unique case.
“Because of the hurricanes, we’ve had pretty strong demand with the travel that we’ve had with United simply because we do have a lot of people coming in and out of the city. Be it adjusters, workers, and that sort of thing that are coming back in the recovery.”
