North Charleston

North Charleston is a city in South Carolina that extends across three counties: Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester. The city sits at an elevation of roughly 6 meters above sea level and contains residential, commercial, and industrial zones.

The Charleston International Airport lies within city limits and offers direct flights to important destinations across the United States. Travelers find connections here to major airlines and services that make visiting the region easier.

Boeing operates production facilities within the city that manufacture components for commercial aviation, including parts for the 787 Dreamliner series. These factories showcase the role the city plays in modern aircraft industry.
