Good airport. Love the smaller airports. Much easier to deal with. Security was friendly and super thorough and very professional. Would definitely use it again.

Música P

Very easy airport to navigate due to its small size. All staff are super friendly and helpful. I wish larger airports had the character this smaller airport has. Thank you for an easy and stress-free experience.

Kelly B

Friendly airport. Relatively new. Spotlessly clean. Couple of food concessions after check in. 4 main car rental companies with friendly staff.. Always enjoy arriving and departing at this airport.

It is always a wonderful experience at Albert J Ellis Airport. The staff are welcoming and professional. Very clean airport as well.

Gary W

One of the best small airports that is underutilized! New, super clean, friendly staff and flying from here beats the two hour drive to Raleigh-Durham International Airport and parking here is very affordable! Love this airport!

By far the cleanest airport I have ever been to in my life and I've been flying since 1984. Nice professional friendly staff. I felt safe.

Chris M

Best airport in North Carolina. They treat you better than gold, very very friendly staff and quick security. Felt super comfortable here!

Charles G

It is easy to maneuver to where you need to go and it's gorgeous! The floors, all the glass work, the architecture is very cool and it's smaller which I love.

Mimi H

Very clean, very small airport! Everyone we have had contact with has been kind and upbeat. The little restaurant in the airport has a killer breakfast sandwich. Highly recommend this airport if you are able to fly through.
