Asheville Regional Airport is nearing the completion of Project SOAR: Significant Opportunity for Aviation and the Region, an $80 million, four-plus-year project.
The work will result in a new (replacement) runway and additional taxiway to serve the region’s aviation needs for decades to come. It is the biggest, most significant development project at the airport since the airport was built more than fifty years ago.
Parking garage is now fully open
The AVL parking garage fully opened in December, and offers 1,100 public parking spaces. The airport also offers 1,100 spaces in its lower-cost, long-term lot, so passengers have a choice.
Two lots that were used temporarily during construction have been closed: the credit-card only lot (past the airport terminal on the right) and the prepaid shuttled lot (across the street from the main entrance on Airport Road).
There is still work occurring in the parking areas, including installation of parking management technology systems, which will be complete soon.
