First Stages of Improvements at GSP Underway

Phase one of the Terminal Improvement Program is now underway at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.

The multi-phase project, to be completed within the 48 months, includes building customer service counters and offices for each of the five rental car agencies, adding additional parking, renovating the baggage claim area, the building core and the concourse.

GSP officials said the $102 million project will help to modernize the main terminal and improve passenger flow. The attached video from the airport will take you through the project.

“We are very excited about the updates and improvements that are coming” GSP President and CEO Dave Edwards said. “While utilizing the existing footprint of the building we will improve the flow of traffic, introduce new technology and modernize the look and feel of the terminal.  Our design team has worked hard to preserve key elements so that our new terminal will be reminiscent of what it is today."

The airport will pay for 70 percent of the upgrades to the facility from airport funds. The remaining 30 percent of funding will come from a combination of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport Improvement Program Fund and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), for the new baggage screening system, officials said. No taxpayer dollars will be used to fund the project.
