Those September weekends are going straight on my calendar. Appreciate the heads-up early.
If the airport is closed, hotels are going to feel it. Wonder if airlines will reroute people through CLT/ATL.
We ship parts out of GSP sometimes. Nightly closures probably won’t matter, but the full shutdown weekends might.
The smart move is communicating this now. A lot of corporate travel gets booked months ahead.
September shutdown weekends will hit corporate travel hard. BMW and Michelin both run heavy travel schedules that month.
17 years without repaving is a long time for a runway handling commercial traffic. This maintenance is overdue and necessary.
Nightly closures after last arrival shouldn't affect most travelers. The September full shutdowns are the ones to plan around.
CLT and ATL will pick up overflow traffic those September weekends. Book early if you have flights during those dates.
