Charlotte gets European flights

US Airways says that it will expand its international presence at its Charlotte, North Carolina, hub when the airline begins a daily non-stop seasonal summer service between Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Madrid and Dublin in May 2011. 

The new flights will complement US Airways' daily, non-stop year-round service to both destinations from Philadelphia, the airline's main gateway to Europe.  Madrid will be served by a Boeing B767-200 ER aircraft with seating for 18 in Envoy, US Airways' international Business Class, and 186 in the main cabin.  Dublin is operated with a Boeing B757 with seating for 12 in Envoy and 164 in the main cabin.  US Airways is a member of Star Alliance. www.usairways.com
