Augusta Regional Airport (AGS) prepares for an influx of visitors April 8th- 15th by implementing parking protocols, highlighting local artists, and offering more direct flights though Delta and American Airlines.

As part of AGS’ curb enforcement implementation, the Airport continues the parking protocols for all “for hire” commercial ground transportation operators. These protocols extend to for profit enterprises that enter the premises for the sole purpose of picking up passengers i.e., taxies, limousines, hotel/motel shuttle services, and hospitality transportation services. During the week of April 8th- 15th these operators will be required to pay a nominal trip fee of $2.00, to gain access to a designated parking lot adjacent to the main terminal building. All “for hire” commercial ground transportation operators will be required to use this lot to stage their vehicles and pick-up passengers.

AGS visitors will also see a glimpse of the area’s local talent. The Airport’s Art Program will have the pieces from Augusta University’s Art Department in the gate area of the main terminal. Local musical talents, Josephine Johnson, Matt Dahlheimer, Adam Harris Thompson, Bill Karp, John Hobbs, JaVonne Jones, Pat Patterson, and Fred Williams will perform throughout the week in the baggage claim area.

In addition to regularly scheduled destinations, Washington D.C., Dallas, Charlotte, and Atlanta. Delta and American Airlines will offer additional direct flights to and from Augusta during the week of the Masters®. This year’s itinerary includes direct service to and from New York, Detroit, Boston, Austin, Orlando, West Palm Beach, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Miami, and Chicago.

“It comes around very quickly. However, we are prepared and excited to serve again as the primary gateway commercial service Airport for the 2024 Masters®,” said Herbert L. Judon Jr., Airport Executive Director. “As always, our terminal will be bustling and full of amenities, entertainment, and energy. As we continue to grow our Airport, this year there will be some residual ongoing construction projects in April. However, it will not impact the Airport’s capacity or operations. This year we are especially excited to feature our two new additional aircraft boarding bridges, our new Master Concessionaire, Tailwind Hospitality, and the record number of flights and destinations.”
