Originally built in the late 1950s, the Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) has undergone multiple additions to keep up with its rapid growth.<\/strong> Between 2022 and 2023 alone, the airport experienced a 29% increase in passengers and continues to see record-breaking growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To accommodate this continuous rise of travelers, the Greater Asheville Regional Airport Authority (GARAA) launched the AVL Forward project<\/a>, an effort that will expand and modernize the existing 115,000-square-foot, seven-gate building into a 275,000-square-foot, 12-gate terminal. The new and spacious design will feature a bright, open lobby, state-of-the-art ticketing and baggage claim areas, an inviting concessions plaza, designed gate areas to enhance passenger comfort and experience, additional aircraft parking, a centralized power plant, and hold room facilities.<\/p>\n\n\nAVL Forward: Expanding and Modernizing Asheville Regional Airport<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
