A lot of people there want GNV to have air access to Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey, and a fundraiser was established to try to persuade Continental Airlines into flying there. Recently, American Airlines has also offered to begin regional jet service to both Miami International Airport and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, prompting Continental to counter-bid with an offer to serve George Bush Intercontinental Airport as well.
Currently, only Atlantic Southeast Airlines dba Delta Connection and US Airways Express fly to Gainesville Regional Airport, serving William B. Hartsfield International Airport and Charlotte Douglas International Airport respectively.
