For the plane spotters out there, there is a British Airways 777er due to land at GSP in an hour and a half. Kinda jelly that I’m not able to go see all these cargo planes coming in.

 

This is a new contract the airport just pulled in.  Won't be a one off so if you keep an eye out it will be back a few more times!

Country music was playing over the airport’s sound system recently.  Maybe GSP can also raise a Confederate battle flag out front, if that’s the demographic that the airport is trying to attract?

I’m sticking by it. Country music is favored by the less-educated and lower-income, and it’s appalling that a gateway to Greenville includes it as one of the first things that visitors experience.  A

Your knowledge of the airport and the airport commission is sorely lacking.   First, Roger Milliken has been dead since 2010.   There's no such thing as "Milliken Leadership".   But when alive wa

Everything from Condor to Tui to British Airways. Where am I? London? Lol.

Why is there such a large increase in cargo service out of GSP?

With the new cargo facility that opened last year, GSP has shown it can handle the volume and can be fast and efficient.  Time is money to a lot of companies and it is proving to be far quicker and easier to move freight in and out of GSP than going through the larger airports and airspace of ATL and CLT.  Logistically those can be time consuming nightmares sometimes!

GSP named best airport in North America (in its size category).  https://www.postandcourier.com/greenville/business/greenville-hosts-sec-basketball-gsp-airport-best-in-north-america-commerce-club-closing/article_b6a3a350-7a9f-11eb-b33a-8bc30b5ae373.html

Does this mean we’re getting JetBlue and Alaska? :D

Looks like Charleston is gonna get Breeze:

Lol. I knew we’d get screwed. 

Yeah saw this too. https://paxex.aero/breeze-airways-initial-airports/

This certainly doesn't mean we won't get flights with them but it is a little frustrating to see Chas get everything.  CHS is definitely not an underserved market, which is what this airline says its targeting. I think we'll get them, and would be completely bummed if we don't.

Well, it looks like a large portion of their flights at least initially will be to and from Florida so it won’t be a huge loss if we don’t land them in my opinion as the last thing GSP needs is more flights to that state. If it was somewhere like Boston then it would be a different story.

Yeah we don't need any FL flights ( though i can't imagine CHS needing flights to FL). This is just the beginning though so we'll see.

Going off of what’s able to get booked on American Airlines website, it looks they are bringing back non-stop direct service to Miami starting April 3rd. One flight each way per day seven days a week. Flown on Embraer 175.

GSP-MIA 7:40am-9:40am

MIA-GSP 9:00pm-11:02pm

 

GSP is going to gain five non-stop direct destination airports over the next few weeks: Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, Denver, and Miami.

I think we have Florida covered. Good to see Denver back but need more western non-stoos.

Vino Volo has closed down.  Place is boarded up and sign has been taken down.  Vino Volo has also removed GSP from its location list.  No word on what may replace it.

I’m surprised if lasted this long. Same goes for Palmetto Moonshine. Who the heck buys wine and moonshine at an airport? 

Qdoba (if it’s still coming) and Chick-Fil-A were great landings for GSP. They need more food options like this and less like DC-3 or whatever it was called.

And where is JetBlue? :angry:
