Delta Connection (SkyWest Airlines / Endeavor Air)
Sole scheduled passenger service at ABY, branded Delta Connection, flown by regional partners SkyWest Airlines and Endeavor Air (SkyWest handled about 94% and Endeavor about 6% of ABY enplanements in the Aug 2024-Jul 2025 period) with CRJ regional jets to Atlanta; locally described as Essential Air Service-supported, though the route was not confirmed against DOT's current subsidized-EAS list. No third-party ground handler could be identified at ABY, so passenger and ramp handling appears to be airline/carrier-run (self or subcontracted staffing) - unconfirmed.

Thrush Aircraft, LLC
Agricultural/firefighting aircraft manufacturer at 300 Old Pretoria Road adjoining the airport; primarily a production facility but operates an on-site repair station used to install options and modifications on certified aircraft. Its own site directs routine customer maintenance to its dealer/service-center network rather than the factory, so on-field customer service work is limited and on request.
