The Fayetteville Regional Airport announced this morning that it will be supporting Pope Army Airfield Operations starting in June. 

United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) Flight Company’s fixed wing aircrafts are currently displaced at the airport as construction is ongoing at Pope Army Airfield. 

The construction, which includes runway repaving and other construction, is expected to continue into early 2022. The airport welcomes the opportunity to lend a hand during that time frame, according to Director Toney Coleman. 

“Fayetteville Regional Airport always stands ready to support our military neighbors and are happy to support the USASOC Flight Company and other aviation units based on Fort Bragg and Pope Army Airfield over the next few months,” Coleman said.
