Aerial of airport 2014 New Airport
 
Located off Union Road just south of downtown, Gastonia Municipal Airport was built by the City of Gastonia in 1946 and is a self-supporting department of the City of Gastonia, North Carolina. The City contracts a private firm to direct daily operations and derives revenue from fuel sales, hangar rentals, land lease fees, and tax revenue. The Airport receives FAA and North Carolina grants for airport improvements and maintenance and is generally considered one of the most active, general aviation facilities in North Carolina.


General Aviation Facility
Gastonia Municipal serves a growing number of corporate aircraft that are powerful and quiet enough to utilize our convenient and economical facility. Private aircraft owners occupy more than 30 hangars with easy access to our runway and value the full parallel taxiway and brief wait times. Area emergency medical services and law enforcement agencies utilize Gastonia as a heliport and transport point. Charlotte Douglas International Airport is located just 10 miles east offering scheduled commercial service to Gastonia and Gaston County residents.
