The Asheville Regional Airport Authority (ARAA) will demolish GA hangars at the facility (KAVL) to make more room for commercial aviation.
“Yes, we are taking back leased aeronautical land close to the airport terminal from Signature [Aviation], the fixed base operator (FBO) at [KAVL],” ARAA spokesperson Tina Kinsey told Asheville news outlet AVL Watchdog. “Commercial aviation is the key driver of revenue for our airport and is vastly important to our region’s residents and the economic strength of western North Carolina, so we must utilize our aeronautical land closest to the terminal to meet commercial aviation needs, especially as commercial air service capacity continues to expand.”
