CHARLOTTE — As the main carrier at Charlotte Douglas International Airport continues to adjust its flight schedule in response to pilot shortages, local travelers will have one less option for a direct flight to a tropical destination this winter.

The change is effective Jan. 10, a spokesperson says. Customers affected by the shift will be notified by the airline and offered alternative travel options.
