New nonstop flight to Greenville/Spartanburg, SC and additional nonstop service to Raleigh/Durham, NC
Monroe County Executive Adam Bello and the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport (ROC) today celebrated Avelo Airlines’ inaugural flight to Greenville/Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) in upstate South Carolina. To celebrate this new nonstop service, Avelo is offering low one-way fares between ROC and GSP starting at $77*.
This is Avelo’s second nonstop destination out of ROC, which began nonstop service to Raleigh/Durham International Airport (RDU) in 2023. Additionally, Avelo began expanded nonstop service, now four times a week, to RDU. The increase in frequency to RDU will provide greater convenience and affordability to passengers looking to travel to the North Carolina’s popular Research Triangle.
“For anyone looking to travel between upstate New York and upstate South Carolina, look no further than ROC’s newest nonstop service to Greenville/Spartanburg International Airport on Avelo Airlines. Like Monroe County and the Finger Lakes, the Greenville/Spartanburg area is home to outdoor recreational attractions, unique dining, shopping and entertainment venues, and access to major colleges and universities. You can feel the synergy between our two communities, and we hope that this new nonstop service will bring out more partnerships and travel opportunities for our residents,” said Monroe County Executive Adam Bello.
Avelo began service to GSP on May 9 and now operates this route twice weekly on Thursdays and Sundays, making it the perfect option for a long weekend getaway. The Greenville/Spartanburg is a rapidly growing community with a population near 900,000 residents. The 2023 U.S. News & World Report ranked Spartanburg, SC the 12th and Greenville, SC the 23rd fastest growing cities in the country.
The region is home to attractions like the BMW Zentrum and Performance Center, a number of Revolutionary War sites, over 100 fabulous shops and restaurants, and many other outdoor entertainment and recreation opportunities. Additionally, GSP provides easy access to other nearby areas and attractions such as: Clemson, SC; Asheville, NC; Columbia, SC; Athens GA; and August, GA.

Whether visiting friends and family or enjoying a leisurely vacation, Avelo offers low fares, travel-friendly convenience and industry-leading reliability.
