In 1979, the Asheville Regional Airport Authority Board was established under North Carolina Statutes by Buncombe County and the City of Asheville to maintain, operate, regulate and improve the airport while enhancing the economy of the region. Since its creation, the Authority has been successful in the development and operation of the airport and has matured into a fully self-sustaining enterprise requiring no local financial assistance for its operations, maintenance or capital programs.
The Board is comprised of seven members. Three are appointed by the Asheville City Council, three by Buncombe County Board of Commissioners, and the seventh is appointed by the six as the At-Large member. Authority meetings are currently held on the second Friday of the month and are open to the public.
The Authority employs 55 staff in the areas of Finance and Administration, IT, Development, Marketing, Operations, Public Safety. (The Asheville Regional Airport staff is committed to be the premier airport of choice for Western North Carolina travelers, by providing an array of choices and amenities, distinctive customer service, value, and convenience.)
