Nonstop Growth: PSP Adds Nonstop Charlotte Service on American Airlines

Aug 19, 2025 | News

Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is celebrating another win for travelers with the announcement of new seasonal nonstop flights to Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) aboard American Airlines.

Launching December 20, 2025, and running every Saturday through April 18, 2026, the new route strengthens PSP’s growing East Coast reach. Weekly service will operate on American’s Boeing 737-800 aircraft with 172 seats.

Through Charlotte, travelers also gain access to a powerful hub that connects Palm Springs with dozens of cities across the East Coast, Midwest, and even international destinations.

“This new connection builds on our momentum, adding even more nonstop access between the Coachella Valley and the East Coast,” said Harry Barrett, Jr., Executive Director of Aviation at PSP. “Every new route creates more opportunities for our community, our visitors, and our economy.”

The announcement comes at a time of record-breaking momentum for PSP. The airport has already logged five record months in 2025 and seen year-over-year passenger growth in every month so far. July alone was up 11% compared to 2024.
