Since 1985, the Las Vegas based nonprofit has helped patients with rare and life-threatening medical conditions gain access to specialized, out-of-state medical care through commercial flights. Plane tickets are provided at no cost to the families and as many times as necessary.
Mark E. Brown, CEO of Miracle Flights, said, "I'm very pleased with July's flight count—these aren't just numbers; they're lives that have been changed for the better. While we help as many people as we can, we know that there are still many we don't reach.

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
