Asheville Regional Airport officials say residents should not go to the airport to collect relief supplies. They say the airport must remain clear in order for new supplies to arrive and be offloaded. All supplies will be deployed by FEMA and others at distribution points set up throughout the region, according to the airport’s Facebook page.

Commercial flights have resumed, but some airlines are not yet back to their full schedules. Passengers are advised to contact their airline for the most up-to-date flight information.

Passengers can check the Asheville Regional Airport’s Facebook page for regular updates on general airport operations and the arrival of resources, aid and government officials. Airport officials caution that flight information on its web site is inaccurate, as the site is not being updated due to internet issues in western North Carolina.

Ground transportation to and from the airport is difficult to find, as fuel shortages affect the region.

Airport officials say cars parked at the airport during the storm are safe, as the parking lot was not flooded. They say they will waive parking fees for the days during the storm and this week of recovery.
