KGSP by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for GSP in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from GSP's own airspace.
KGSP reported VFR in 82% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 283 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 17% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 8% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 22 had the best headwind 52% of the time, runway 04 48%, and winds were calm 26% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 56 days a year. 64% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
GSP departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 81% of the time across 14,191 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (91%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (65%).
Fog was reported on about 31 days a year, and fog or mist on 136. January and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 15% of hours, against 4% in June.
