About the company
Greater Asheville Regional Airport Authority, doing business as Asheville Regional Airport, is a U.S. local government airport authority that receives federal grant funding from the Federal Aviation Administration to design, construct, and rehabilitate airport infrastructure in Fletcher, North Carolina. The authority operates as a grant recipient (97% of awards as prime recipient) and does not hold federal contracts or seats on contract vehicles; all federal activity flows through FAA grant programs administered by the Southern Region.
Asheville Regional Airport's federal footprint centers entirely on the Federal Aviation Administration's airport-development grant programs: the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117), and the Airport Terminal Program (CFDA 20.118). The authority has received 30 FAA Southern Region grants over the past several years, with a combined obligated value of approximately $173.2 million. Recent representative work includes a $5.23 million Airport Infrastructure Grants award (June 2026) for the tenth phase of terminal expansion construction (2,104 square feet of North Concourse), a $4.58 million Airport Improvement Program grant (June 2026) for the same phase, a $3.37 million Airport Terminal Program award (March 2026) for the final phase of air traffic control tower reconstruction (2,900 square feet), and a $4.44 million Airport Improvement Program grant (September 2025) for the second phase of taxiway rehabilitation (3,400 feet of Taxiway A). The authority also received a $7.778 million American Rescue Plan Act economic-relief grant (December 2021) covering operations, personnel, sanitization, and debt service during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a $694,393 concurrent relief grant to airport concessions. All work is performed at Asheville Regional Airport in Fletcher, North Carolina; grants carry ultimate completion dates between 2026 and 2030.
The authority has minimal exposure outside FAA grant programs. Two Transportation Security Administration awards total $1.1 million in potential value; one Federal Emergency Management Agency grant funds disaster recovery as a sub-recipient under a North Carolina Department of Public Safety prime award (April 2025); and one Department of Transportation Office of the Secretary award rounds out the customer set. Grant activity has remained steady, averaging three to four awards per year over the past five years with no material growth trajectory. No grants reach completion inside the next twelve months; the earliest completion date in the active portfolio is July 2026, with the majority completing in 2027–2029, presenting renewal and recompete opportunity with FAA Southern Region if the authority pursues continued federal infrastructure investment.
