I was visiting with some clients yesterday who had just flown into the Hilton Head Island Airport from Minneapolis, Minnesota.  They told me that they were astounded that within 10 minutes of landing they had rented a car and had arrived at their home in Port Royal Plantation - they had never flown into and airport like this before. 

I think that I sometimes take the Hilton Head Island Airport for granted; the Hilton Head Island Airport is a great asset to Hilton Head Island.  People coming on vacation have a limited amount of time and they appreciate the fact that they can get where they are going quickly once they arrive on the island. 

There has been a lot of talk recently about the airport and whether or not the runway will be extended.  I think this would not only benefit all of us who live on Hilton Head, but the many people who visit the island throughout the year.
