ENHANCING PASSENGER SERVICES
Parking shuttle now in operationIt’s easy to spot the new parking shuttle buses at the airport! This new service is now available for passengers who park in the southern-most Daily Lot (south of the garage). The shuttle will also serve the new parking lot (currently being constructed) across the street from the main entrance once it opens this May.
The parking shuttle is one more way we are striving to provide positive airport experiences for passengers and visitors. Thank you for flying AVL!
CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY ON TERMINAL DRIVE
Be aware of traffic pattern changesTemporary fencing has been installed, and utility work is underway along Terminal Drive in front of the airport. Please be aware that different areas of Terminal Drive will be closed during a months-long project to improve the underground utility lines that service the airport.
Traffic guards will direct vehicles around the construction areas. Passengers and visitors are asked to keep moving along Terminal Drive, and stops are limited to quick drop-offs and pick-ups. No parking and waiting along the curb will be allowed. A cell phone waiting lot is available, free of charge, past the terminal on the right on Terminal Drive, where visitors may wait in their cars for arriving passengers. When passengers arrive and are ready to be picked up, visitors may then circle around to the curb to pick up their passenger.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to make needed improvements at the airport.
