Athens Ben Epps (AHN) Airport Car Service

AHN (Athens Ben Epps Airport, named for Georgia aviation pioneer Ben T. Epps who built the first powered aircraft to fly in Georgia in 1907) sits about 4 miles east of downtown Athens in Clarke County, Georgia, accessible via US 78 and SR 10 (the Athens Perimeter). The airport is owned and operated by the Athens Clarke County Unified Government. There is no scheduled commercial service. AHN handles corporate charter, flight training, and general aviation operations serving the University of Georgia, the broader Athens corporate base, and the Northeast Georgia region. Our chauffeurs stage at the terminal area for charter and FBO pickups.

AHN to the University of Georgia main campus and Sanford Stadium (the legendary between the hedges home of the Georgia Bulldogs football team) runs about 10 to 15 minutes via SR 10. We handle daily transfers to Athens hotels including the Graduate Athens, the Hotel Indigo Athens, the Foundry Hotel, and the historic Holiday Inn Express Athens University Area.

Sanford Stadium (home of the Georgia Bulldogs football team, the back to back 2021 and 2022 College Football Playoff National Champions) and Stegeman Coliseum (Georgia basketball) both sit on the UGA campus about 10 to 15 minutes from AHN. We handle parent weekend transfers, Bulldogs home football game weekend transport, SEC visiting team logistics, and graduation week pickups. UGA home football weekends fill our SUV and Sprinter calendar months ahead.

UGA home football game weekends (typically six to seven Saturdays each fall, September through November) generate the heaviest weekend demand of our Athens year. Following the back to back National Championships in 2021 and 2022, Bulldogs home football demand has intensified substantially. Big game weekends including the Florida Cocktail Party (held annually in Jacksonville), Tennessee, Auburn, and Georgia Tech rivalry weekends all drive heavy spikes. We require eight to twelve weeks of lead time for Bulldogs home football SUV and Sprinter bookings.

Yes. Dispatch runs around the clock with a live human on the line, and we operate red eye charter arrivals, 4 am Caterpillar Athens early shift corporate transfers, and late night downtown Athens game day pickups during UGA home football weekends.
