Several projects underway at GSP as airport expects another record-breaking travel year
GREER, S.C. (WSPA) – Almost one year ago, Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport broke ground on a $97 million parking garage but that isn't the only project happening at the airport.
Millions pass through GSP Airport each year and that number is growing.
'We are seeing a record number of passengers coming through GSP. Last year, we had 2.8 million plus passengers travel through GSP and we expect 2025 to hit that three million mark,' said Tiffany Cherry, GSP Airport communications manager.
To meet the demands of more travelers, several projects are underway.

In January 2023, the airport started work to improve traffic flow in and around the terminal.
'We have been doing our TRIP project, our Terminal Roadway Improvement Project, where we expanded the front curb and set new designated lanes.'
The project, which also improved traffic flow with roundabouts, is in its final stage and is expected to be completed in the next month.
Construction on the newest parking garage is continuing.
'We are under construction for a third parking garage that has broken ground last February and you can see the building coming up very nicely and that is going to be parking garage C, but it will also be our consolidated rental car facility,' said Cherry.
The new parking garage will provide 1,500 additional parking spaces, which is something airport officials said is needed.

'We are seeing parking at a high demand especially in our garage parking,' explained Cherry.
GSP is also anticipates bringing in a new restaurant concept to the terminal in late spring to early summer which is expected to have a local flair.
The airport has partnered with Plus Plus and the Children's Museum of the Upstate to build a new children's play area.
A $6.8 million project to add two new gates, A0 and B5, to the terminal is expected to be complete by June 2025.
