Asheville Regional Airport has resumed commercial flights into and out of Western North Carolina following disruptions caused by the impacts of Helene. The airport spokesperson, Tina Kinsey, confirmed on Tuesday morning that the airport has been open and operational since Saturday. However, various challenges such as road closures, gas shortages affecting staff commutes, internet and cell connectivity issues, and high winds initially delayed the resumption of airline operations.
Situated approximately 9 miles south of downtown Asheville in Fletcher, the airport is now facilitating flights by Allegiant, American Airlines, Delta, and United Airlines. Despite the resumption of services, there is still a possibility of flight cancellations.
