Contour Airlines Begins New Nonstop Service from GSP to Nashville

Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) welcomed its seventh airline, Nov. 17, as Contour Airlines began nonstop service to Nashville, Tennessee (BNA.)

“We are delighted to connect the Upstate region of South Carolina vibrant city of Nashville,” said Matt Chaifetz, CEO of Contour Airlines. “With the comfort and convenience of nonstop service, both business and leisure travelers will be able to make the most of Music City.”

Contour Airlines will provide the only nonstop service from GSP to Nashville International Airport.

“We are committed to connecting our passengers to the places they need to go,” said Dave Edwards, president and CEO of the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport District. “With this fast, comfortable, and convenient new service from Contour Airlines, our customers will be able to access all that Nashville has to offer. We are proud to be the first airport in South Carolina to offer scheduled Contour Airlines service.”

The new service will operate five times each week, excluding Tuesdays and Saturdays. Contour will utilize 30-seat Embraer ERJ-135 and Embraer ERJ-145 aircraft configured with a minimum of 36 inches of legroom in every row, which is equivalent to first-class on other domestic carriers. Contour has no middle seats on its aircraft, allowing for more space between passengers. 

With this announcement, GSP will offer service by seven passenger airlines to 22 nonstop destinations and connecting service worldwide. Nashville is the fourth new nonstop destination GSP has added in 2021.
