Savannah's Tourism Economy and Airport Growth

SAV has added nonstop service to several cities in recent years, including nonstops to New York, Boston, and Chicago on JetBlue, United, and American. These additions reduce reliance on the ATL connection for some routes. Still, ATL remains the primary connecting hub for SAV passengers. The airport sits 10 miles from the Historic District and 45 miles from Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, making it the closest commercial airport for that resort community. SAV is a compact, easy airport with short security waits and close-in parking. Runway and terminal expansion projects are ongoing to accommodate the area's tourism-driven traffic increases.
