Stay safe & have a great weekend!

Mid-Carolina Regional Airport will close at 5 PM on Saturday, January 24, due to the Governor’s declaration of a State of Emergency and forecasts calling for significant and hazardous ice accumulation across the region.

We expect to remain closed until Monday morning at the earliest, with re-opening dependent on weather and safety assessments.

March 6-12 is Worldwide Week, a global awareness initiative to commemorate accomplishments of women in the field of aviation. It is also a time for us to celebrate our very own Originals in aviation, Airport Director Valerie Steele and Fixed Base Operator (FBO) Manager Tanya Logan.

Although women have been involved in aviation since its earliest days, the overall numbers are relatively small by comparison.

Rowan County is fortunate to have two highly skilled women leading the way at Mid-Carolina Regional Airport!
