Airport snow crew is hard at work to keep the runway operational. But - many flights are canceled. Remember- flight ops are determined by airlines (not the airport), so passengers should monitor their flight’s status with the airlines. Safe travels!
AVL is open and operational - our snow crews rock! But you still need to check with your airlines about flight status, as they make their own operating decisions. Winter storms can have far-reaching impacts.
