Over the past year, you may have noticed a few new faces enthusiastically making their way around the airport. These furry, affectionate companions are tasked with bringing joy to the terminal. Sitting, shaking and even rolling over, these sweet dogs know they have a job to do; and they take it very seriously.

One year ago, Asheville Regional Airport (AVL) kicked of a new program called Paws for Passengers.  Ambassador teams - special human handlers and their trained pups - visit the airport every day, sharing affection, smiles, wagging tails and calming moments for people at the airport.
