Fayetteville Regional First and Only Airport Terminal in State Recognized by N.C.

The two dogwood blossom rating was granted to the airport for its awareness and conservation of natural resources. The Fayetteville Regional Airport has been a Sustainable Sandhills Certified Green Business for the last five years. The airport was honored to learn that Sustainable Sandhills submitted an application for the airport to be considered for the N.C. Green Travel certificate of recognition. According to N.C. Green Travel, the travel industry is a large consumer in North Carolina and has an impact on the environment and the economy.

Energy conservation, water conservation, materials management and overall efficiency and administration of resources were instrumental in achieving the airport recognition.
