Does Savannah have its own airport?

Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport is located in Chatham County on the coast of Georgia approximately 78 miles north of Brunswick and 168 miles southeast of Macon. The primary highway access to the Airport from the north and south is via Interstates 95 and 16, and U.S. Highway 80.



Yes, the city is served by the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV), located approximately 12 miles northwest of Savannah's historic district. Despite its "International" designation, it primarily handles domestic flights within the United States, acting as a major gateway for both coastal Georgia and the popular resort areas of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The airport is consistently ranked as one of the best small airports in the U.S. due to its unique "Savannah Square" themed town center inside the terminal, which features shops and restaurants designed to look like the city's famous historic squares. It is served by major carriers including Delta, American, United, and JetBlue, as well as low-cost airlines like Allegiant and Breeze. While it is a relatively small and easy-to-navigate facility, it provides vital connectivity for the region's booming tourism industry and the growing aerospace sector anchored by the nearby Gulfstream Aerospace headquarters.
