Asheville Regional Airport Is Shaping The Future Of Air Travel Beyond The Gate
Airports are more than gateways and more like the heartbeats of their communities.
In this episode of Speaking of Travel, discover how the Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) is redefining what it means to connect people, place, and purpose.
With air travel soaring, AVL’s bold AVL Forward project is transforming the airport experience, more than doubling its space, introducing a fresh, modern design, and creating a safer, more calming environment that reflects the natural beauty and spirit of Western North Carolina.
Angi Daus, Vice President of Air Service and Corporate Communications, shares how innovation, intentional design, and genuine community connection are shaping AVL’s evolution and uplifting the entire region.
Angi sums it up beautifully. “Airports aren’t just places you pass through. They’re vital parts of the community fabric. At AVL, we’re growing with purpose, making sure every traveler feels that sense of belonging.”
This inspiring conversation uncovers how, when airports truly care, they become so much more than transit hubs and become trusted, transformative anchors of community life.
A must listen! Only on Speaking of Travel.
