Greenville-Spartanburg Airport District welcomed over one million departing passengers

Greer, SC – For the first time in its 54-year history, Greenville-Spartanburg Airport District has welcomed over one million departing passengers. Comparing the past 12 months with same 12-month period in 2015, GSP has exceeded one million departing passengers for the past three months. Below are the actual comparisons.

“We’ve been seeing solid growth trends from our airline partners and so this major milestone is great news for the region and for the airport. It’s an indication that the GSP Airport District and its airline partners are delivering the right environment with the right service at the right price,” said Dave Edwards, President/CEO of the GSP Airport District.

In addition to these historic passenger numbers, GSP officials report that WINGSPAN, the District’s $125,000,000 terminal renovation program, is nearing completion. Since the beginning of the summer travel season, the new ticket lobby has opened along with the new centralized passenger screening checkpoint and the new automated exit lanes. Work continues on the second floor Grand Hall area and the Airside Garden area. Both areas are expected to open prior to the end of the year.
