From todays CLT Observer: http://www.charlotte.com/295/story/98586.html
......Charlotte, which had some of the highest airfares in the nation six years ago, is now more affordable. The lower fares are attracting not only Charlotte passengers, but also travelers from outlying areas such as Greensboro, where air fares have risen.
......The U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics reported that of the nation's 85 largest airports, Charlotte's average ticket price declined by a bigger percentage than all but four. That's comparing the change from the fourth quarter 2006 to the fourth quarter 2005.......
No mention in the article that added competition may have driven down prices. jetBlue is there now and Air Tran has added service. Regardless its good news for consumers.
