Charleston International Airport

Charleston International Airport is a currently disputed area between the USAF forces in Joint Base Charleston and a coalition of raiders in the ruins of North Charleston.

History

In 1928, the Charleston Airport Corporation was founded and purchased 700 acres of land previously belonging to Dunwich Borers LLC. Although privately developed at first, the City of Charleston floated bonds in 1931 to acquire a portion of the site for passenger service. Within ten years, three runways were paved and outfitted with lighting for nighttime operations. In World War II, control of the airfield passed to the United States Army though civilian service was allowed to continue to use the airfield. After the war, the airfield reverted to civilian use for a short time. In 1949, a new passenger terminal was built.

In the years leading up to the Great War, the City of Charleston and the United States Air Force reached an agreement on control of the base and the runways.
