Many cities are served by multiple airports. Larger airports have more flight options, especially direct flights, more facilities and more amenities such as shops and restaurants. But often times larger airports serve as hubs for the major carriers, and their presence there -and often dominance - means you often pay higher fares. Larger airports also tend to have higher parking rates, are more congested, and have more delays (due to aircraft traffic). On the other hand, if the closest airport you choose to fly to or from is a smaller regional airport, you might be rewarded with lower fares, fewer delays, and less traffic. That might even make it worthwhile - even if the nearest airport is a bit further of a drive.

Within the past year, the Airport has undertaken and substantially completed several largescale projects that include the refurbishment of its primary runway, piping of an open ditch parallel to that runway, and completion of Phase 1 of the Terminal Renovation project. Three passenger boarding bridges, covered walkways that connect the terminal building to the aircraft, are being installed, and the Authority has commissioned the design of Phase 2 of the Terminal Renovation which will go out for bids later this year. Eclipse Aviation, maker of the Eclipse 500, has opened its first factory service center in Gainesville, which will support more than 1,000 jet aircraft. Gainesville regional airport is served by one Fixed Base Operator, University Air Center. Previously there were two, Gulf Atlantic Airways and Flight Line. Flight Line's contract with the airport authority expired and Gulf Atlantic became University Air Center. University Air Center provides a pilots lounge with TV, snack machines, aircraft rentals and charters, and fuel. Airlines and destinations: |
