Asheville Regional Airport

The field's elevation of 2,165 feet is served by a single runway that handles a growing volume of scheduled airline traffic despite the airport's modest infrastructure footprint. Asheville's popularity as a tourist destination, known for mountain scenery, breweries, and the nearby Biltmore Estate, has driven steady passenger growth at this regional airport in recent years. Several major U.S. carriers offer connecting service through hub cities such as Charlotte and Atlanta, linking western North Carolina to the wider national network. Even with just the one strip, Asheville Regional Airport has expanded its terminal facilities to accommodate rising demand from both leisure and business travelers.
