Savannah Hilton Head International Airport

Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (KSAV) sits 8 miles west of downtown Savannah, Georgia, and 30 miles north of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. The field handles modest commercial service (American, Delta, United, JetBlue, Allegiant, Frontier are the major carriers) and a substantial flow of business aviation, particularly the structural Hilton Head resort flow (year-round leisure with peak spring through fall), the Savannah cultural / film-festival circuit, and the Gulfstream Aerospace presence on the field (KSAV is Gulfstream's headquarters and primary delivery/MRO facility). The two runways at KSAV (1/19 9,003 ft, 10/28 7,002 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. Two FBOs (Sheltair and Signature) handle business movements. Field elevation is 50 feet, no density-altitude concerns. The dominant operational considerations are summer Southeast thunderstorms (April–October), hurricane season (June–November), and the structural Gulfstream operational traffic that includes test flights and delivery flights of new aircraft. The RBC Heritage golf tournament at Hilton Head (April) and the Savannah Music Festival (March–April) are the structural event peaks. Ground time to downtown Savannah is 15 minutes; Hilton Head Island is 45–60 minutes via I-95 and US-278.
