Why Customers Love Gainesville Regional Airport

Excitement is soaring at the beautiful Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV) in Gainesville, FL, where more than $50 million in expansion and improvement projects have recently been completed, including the newly opened parking garage and intermodal center. The upgrade provides shelter to keep vehicles and passengers out of the weather and adds more than 400 additional parking spots, new vehicle charging stations and plenty of space for passenger pick-up by ride app and Gainesville city bus services.

Hassle-free Flying

For decades, GNV has faithfully served as a wide-open front door to welcome guests flying in and out of North Central Florida. Located in the heart of the Sunshine State, the airport is a short 15 minute drive from the University of Florida and UF Health Shands Hospital. While smaller in size, it is a giant when it comes to providing hassle-free flying.

“Local air service is especially favored by retirees, business travelers and college students (and their parents) to reduce travel complexity and uncertainty by avoiding busy highways and congested metropolitan areas,” says Allan Penska, CEO of Gainesville Regional Airport.

The modern parking area followed the rollout of a 15,200-square foot, two-gate passenger terminal area expansion that sparkles like the Florida sunshine. With more important features and friendly staff, it is designed to support larger planes and more enplanements. Customer conveniences include larger facilities, a pet relief area, lactation lounge, a new concession option, increased seating, charging ports and complimentary Wi-Fi.

An anchor in the Gainesville business arena, the airport generates a $556 million economic impact and provides approximately 440 full- and part-time jobs.

National and Global Reach

Passengers can reach four major hubs — Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas/Fort Worth and Miami — nonstop and over 340 global destinations in one stop via the airport’s two major carriers, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines.

“Gainesville is a knowledge-based economy that aspires to attract and grow jobs of all kinds for a vibrant and sustainable community,” Penska says. “Air service, both public and private, is essential for conducting business with national and global reach.”

Come experience the convenience, competitive prices and calm environment that define the meaning of the Gainesville Regional Airport’s motto — “Fly Easy.”
