Charlotte's airport has an approved new airline deal

Charlotte City Council approved a new Airline Use and Lease Agreement (AULA) for Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its signatory airlines. Why it matters: The new deal, which begins on Jan. 1, 2027, keeps the signatory airlines around for the next 10 and a half years and allows for a five-year extension. CLT's signatory airlines are American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest and United. Driving the news: Council approved the AULA Monday night in an 8-2 vote. Council members JD Mazuera Arias and Reneé Perkins Johnson voted against it. More than 50 people signed up to speak to address council. Some advocated for the deal and some against. Advocates from Atrium Health, Novant Health, Trane Technologies, Charlotte Area Chamber of Commerce, North Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association, Charlotte Regional Business Alliance and local business owners — some of whom have a presence at the airport — advocated for the deal.

State law does not allow the city to intervene in subcontractor pay . " We've gotta take this fight to

North Carolinians often joke about New Yorkers relocating to the state en masse for retirement, but there's a reason the state appeals to so many retirees. You can put down roots near the coast, spending each day taking long beach walks, settle down in a cozy cabin in the mountains, or select a place somewhere in the middle to spend your golden years.
