Glenn Kelley (Morgantown's interim city manager) was on the radio this morning and he briefly talked about the runway extension saying it is being worked on, nothing more was given, but when he was talking about it he mentioned that the plan was for Southern Airways to grow with the airport and eventually use bigger planes at Morgantown Airport. He also mentioned he is working with either southern or another company to eventually offer air service to Charleston.
That sounds absolutely pointless.
What should have been done was a regional airport in the Fairmont area. The regional airport in the Hurricane area was killed by politics. If the state was smart, it would have been done in both places and we would have 2 nice moderately-sized airports in the state

The talk about flights to Charleston was brought up in the same breath that it would help when the legislature was in session. We will see if it ever happens though.
Regarding a regional airport, there is some talk about scrapping the airports down there and taking a part of the Hobbet Mine and build a large airport, because we already don't waste enough tax payer money or anything.
I know you can get flights from Clarksburg now to Charlotte, Dulles, Parkersburg, and Columbus. I believe they have flights to Myrtle Beach during summer months until school starts. I've heard they are also going to offer flights to Orlando.
According to their website, you can fly to Orlando, Dulles, and Myrtle Beach (seasonal) from Clarksburg. The flight to Dulles sometimes connects through Morgantown and/or Parkersburg I think. Never heard anything about flying to/from Charlotte or Columbus commercially out of Clarksburg.

Yeah, I don't see Charlotte or Columbus listed but I thought I had seen that someplace. I wish they would institute a flight to the North Gulf Coast... Pensacola, Mobile, or Biloxi. Those locations have the nicest beaches in the world and they aren't over run by tourists like the East Coast beaches. They also don't have the nasty sand fleas.

In October/Novemberish when their new EAS Contract would begin, Clarkaburg will drop flights to Dulles and add flights to Charlotte and BWI. Morgantown and Clarkaburg will have different destinations, 4 total between the two airports.
