GSP opens of new 110,000 sq. ft. cargo facility
September 9, 2019
Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) celebrated the opening of a $33 million air cargo facility which significantly increases the airport’s ability to handle domestic and international freight. In recent years air cargo volume and demand for freight services in the southeastern United States has increased dramatically. The new facility positions the Upstate and GSP to capitalize on this growth.
The 110,000 square-foot cargo facility and its 17-acre apron allow the airport to accommodate up to three Boeing 747-800 freighter aircraft simultaneously; tripling the airport’s previous handling capacity. Senator International, a German-based freight forwarder, will lease half of the facility to support its Senator Atlantic Bridge (SAB) flights from GSP to Frankfurt-Hahn (HHN) with twice-weekly connecting service to Johannesburg, South Africa.
