Last week was the 46th Annual NCAA Conference. There were two full days of informative sessions, discussion groups, panels and professional exhibitors. It's a chance to meet and network with other airports as well as professionals serving the industry through engineering, consulting, products, etc... The NC Division of Aviation attended and was available for any questions or concerns. They delivered an Aviation update and had a panel discussing several topics. Your western NC airports were represented there! Pictured is myself, Sabrina Crone (Macon County Airport, 1A5), Chris Williams (Western Carolina Regional, RHP) and Jim Rowell (Jackson County Airport, 24A).

Great News! We will be able to open the runway back up starting tomorrow! Please keep in mind that we will have limited ramp space over the next week or two. However, the runway and taxiway will both be open starting tomorrow. Thank you for your patience this week.

Over the next couple weeks, please try to call us ahead of time to make us aware of your arrival so we can plan the parking out accordingly.

Repairs on the runway will not be completed today as scheduled. We are hoping to be able to open back up sometime on Friday. We will update as soon as we know anymore details.

Thank you for your patience.

*Update- We are now being told the closure will continue through Thursday. We should be opening at some point Friday, March 27th. We will update when we know a more exact time.

Macon County Airport (1A5) will have a runway closure starting Monday, March 23rd, through Wednesday, March 25th. We will also have some taxiway and apron closures over the next couple weeks. If you plan on flying in (or out) in the next 2-3 weeks, feel free to call for updates. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but this will help preserve our airport with crack sealing repair. The airport will remain open during this time.

Spring has officially landed! ✈️🌷 Time to trade the winter boots for boarding passes and turn over a new leaf (and a new destination). Where are you flying to this spring? 🌍✨

We were able to host a couple fire helicopters and fire crews last week. One was a UH-60 named FireHawk, and the other was a Bell 407 operated by Helicopter Express. We have several crews come throughout the year to stage at Macon County Airport. We are a great spot for them because they can quickly cover NC, GA, TN and SC. We are thankful for their services to our county and surrounding counties in our times of need!
