NEW TERMINAL, $400 MILLION EXPANSION

In August 2023, the airport broke ground on a significant infrastructure project that will result in a new airport terminal 150% larger than before. The first concourse will be open for passenger use in approximately two years. Upon completion, the project will yield a terminal that stands 150% larger than the current airport. The airport will grow from seven gates to twelve, with ample room for further expansion.

The new design concept, inspired by the natural beauty of the western North Carolina mountains, will feature a spacious and bright grand lobby, state-of-the-art ticketing and baggage claim areas, an inviting concessions plaza and thoughtfully designed gate areas to enhance passenger comfort and experience.
