Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport
The
Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) is located in
Upstate South Carolina, midway between the cities of Greenville
and Spartanburg on I-85 (Exit 57). GSP has grown into one of the
finest airports in the country, steadily meeting the Upstate's
ever-increasing needs.
Expansion in recent years to the terminal and airfield have
exceeded $100 million. The terminal contains over 226,000 square
feet of usable space, has second level jet bridge boarding and
thirteen departure gates.
Two Federal Inspection Stations (FIS) consisting of Customs,
Immigrations and Agriculture are located at GSP. The first FIS
facility is located under the south concourse. The facility is
8,800 square feet of usable space and is designed to handle 250
international passengers per hour. A second FIS is located on
the north cargo ramp. This facility is designed to handle cargo
and corporate aircraft that require international clearance.
In 1995, the runway was extended to 9,000 feet and another 2,001
foot extension was completed in June, 1999. At 11,001 feet long,
GSP has the 19th longest runway in the nation. The airport
handles over 1.5 million passengers annually and is served by
fifteen airlines. They offer over eighty daily departures to 18
non-stop destinations.
Customer Service Includes Conference Rooms, Limosine
service, Fax machine, Hotel crew rates, Flight plan room,
Courtesy cars, Pilot lounge, Snack bar, and Car rentals.
General Services include Aircraft maintenance, Aircraft
sales, Aircraft charter, and Aircraft management.
The growing Upstate economy continues to have positive effects
on GSP International. Existing airlines are either increasing or
planning to increase services, new airlines are entering the
marketplace and passenger count is continuing to rise. Because
of this solid growth rate, GSP has made available an additional
12,000 square feet of terminal space on the A concourse. In
existence since the terminal renovation project was completed
about 12 years ago, but unused, this area houses 5 additional
gates for a total number of 13. By mid-July, airline gate
assignments will change and 2 of the 5 new gates will become
operational. A 9th passenger boarding bridge has also been
installed for use in this area.
Work is now completed on a new 120,000 square foot FedEx
facility. Located on the north end, of the airport, in an area
slated to become the North Cargo Complex, this new building will
allow FedEx to increase the number of packages being sorted per
hour from 1,000 to 3,000.
