If your summer plans include a flight out of the Asheville airport, be aware, the airport is advising all customers that a surge in travel is occurring, and parking areas are becoming, and remaining, very full.
Customers are advised to arrive at least two hours before their flights, as they may be directed to overflow lots serviced by airport shuttles. The shuttles run continuously; however, it takes time to make all stops and complete the circuit.
Several temporary overflow lots have been opened to help with surges in demand.
The full parking areas are a result of record passenger utilization, and this fast-paced growth is continuing. The airport is moving forward as quickly as possible with the construction of a new 600-space surface parking lot, slated for completion by fall of this year.
Serving more than 1.8 million passengers in 2022, Asheville Regional Airport is continuing its growth and is the third busiest airport in North Carolina.
