Oconee County Regional Airport (CEU)

Oconee County Regional Airport (CEU) serves as the primary general aviation gateway for Clemson University, situated just 3 miles from Memorial Stadium ("Death Valley"). Because the airport does not host scheduled commercial flights, "connecting" here requires a focus on private aviation and ground transfers from larger regional hubs. The three primary commercial gateways for the area are Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP), located 45 miles to the east; Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), 125 miles to the northeast; and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), 125 miles to the southwest. If you are arriving at CEU via a private charter and have a same-day international connection at GSP, CLT, or ATL, it is essential to allow a significant buffer. For GSP, a minimum of 2.5 hours is recommended, while for CLT or ATL, you should allow at least 4.5 hours to account for regional highway traffic and airport security. During Clemson University’s football home games, CEU becomes exceptionally busy. A privately owned shuttle service typically operates between the airport and the stadium, but it is wise to confirm the schedule with the FBO (864-882-2959) in advance. On-site car rental services from Hertz and Enterprise are available six days a week, but pre-booking is critical during game days when inventory is frequently at capacity. For students and faculty, Clemson University operates the Tiger Transit Holiday Airport Shuttle to GSP and CLT during university breaks, though these do not run on game days. Always verify the latest special event fees if landing during a home game weekend.
