Luring airline tied to car rental fee

29.04.10

County Council vice chairman Elliott Summey said the carrier is a major airline "that can look eye-to-eye with Delta or United" and "they don't charge for certain things people take on planes." Southwest Airlines has been running a major advertising campaign touting its policy of not charging a fee for checked luggage.

Southwest currently offers no service in South Carolina, but Greenville has been aggressively courting the carrier, and supporters of a proposed state incentive plan have said it could attract Southwest to Charleston and Greenville.

The S.C. Air Services Incentive and Development Fund has been held up in the Legislature by Midlands lawmakers who fear the Columbia airport would suffer if Southwest offers service in Charleston and Greenville.

Hill said she thinks a state incentive plan is still possible this year, and said the proposed county rental car fee could provide matching funds.

Southwest has remained mum on the possibility of new service in Charleston.
