For general manager Bob Cruey, the recent renovation at Million Air Asheville (N.C.) was finished just in time. He told AIN, “We opened the refurbished terminal building on October 1. That’s our busiest month for visitors–with the fall colors in full bloom.”

Asheville (AVL) is certainly not the most button-down facility among the Million Air network, but it does pump approximately two million gallons of jet-A per year, making it a significant contributor to the Million Air chain of FBOs. Most traffic to and from AVL involves either part-time residents or tourists visiting the area’s summer camps, hiking trails and golf courses. Million Air is the sole FBO on the field, a fact that did not dissuade owner Ken Allison from investing in a refurbishment project.
