The little airport that could….things just keep getting better for the Upstate of South Carolina and the airline service out of Greenville-Spartanburg International. This week, Avelo Airlines has announced that it will start providing non-stop flights out of Greenville to Orlando, FL and New Haven, CT. They seem to be advertising flights for $49 one way.
There’s an embedded video in the Upstate Business Journal article about Avelo where GSP makes the announcement of the new air service available.
We have a great airport here but we do need additional flight service. It is a tremendous airport for air freight. Passenger service is getting more attention as well. This past week, United Airlines announced that it will be using bigger planes for service in and out of Greenville. This will bring much needed seat capacity for key cities that United serves.
GSP International Airport announced earlier this month that Contour Airlines would be starting up nonstop flights from Greenville to Nashville. This is great to hear and much needed to fly people back and forth from these booming southern cities. The start date is November 17, 2021
Contour Airlines started in 1982 and has continued to evolve and grow. Hopefully they will see lots of success on this route.
If you haven’t flown in or out of GSP International, it is one of the best small airports in the country and a tremendous asset to the entire Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderon area in Upstate South Carolina.
