In 1977, GSP became the first airport in South Carolina to offer international flights to Cancun, Mexico. Since then, GSP has become an important hub for air travel throughout the southeast United States. In addition to being a major hub for domestic air traffic, it has also served as a connecting point for international flights from Europe and other parts of the world. Over recent years, GSP has seen significant growth in passenger numbers and cargo operations. In 2019 alone, it handled over 3 million passengers and over 140 million pounds of cargo – making it one of the busiest airports in South Carolina. The airport is currently served by ten airlines with nonstop service to over 35 destinations across North America and Europe.
