Eagle County is getting a new nonstop service from the Eagle County Regional Airport to the Charlotte Douglas International Airport this winter on American Airlines.

The county announced the seasonal route Tuesday, saying it will provide daily connectivity from December 18, 2025, through January 5, 2026, and will bring EGE to “16 total non-stop winter destinations.”

The introduction of service to Charlotte will expand EGE’s winter flight schedule, with an aim to make connections for southeast travelers more seamless.

According to Eagle County, the American Airlines Route will provide one-stop access from numerous cities throughout the eastern United States and internationally.

“Adding Charlotte to our winter lineup with American Airlines is a monumental step forward for EGE,” said David Reid, director of Aviation at Eagle County Regional Airport, in the news release. “This new route not only expands our reach to a vital American Airlines hub but also reinforces our dedication to ensuring unparalleled access to Eagle County. With this new service, we are offering more convenience and options than ever before for our visitors and residents.”

The new route will operate its seasonal service during peak holiday travel, using the Airbus A319 airplane.

“We’re thrilled to welcome American Airlines’ new seasonal service from Charlotte to Eagle County,” said Chris Romer, president & CEO of Vail Valley Partnership, in the release. “This new route enhances access to our mountain communities and makes it even easier for guests to experience everything our region has to offer during the holiday season.”

Tickets for the EGE to CLT service are expected to be available for purchase starting Sunday, July 6, on aa.com.
