Richmond International Airport (RIC) / Capital Region Airport Commission

Richmond International Airport, also called RIC, serves the Capital Region of Virginia. The Capital Region Airport Commission runs the airport. The site gives its mailing address as 1 Richard E. Byrd Terminal Drive in Richmond, Virginia. The site says the airport has been the gateway to the region since 1927.

The airport supports airline choice in the region. The site lists nine airlines that serve it. They are Allegiant, American Airlines, Breeze Airways, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, Sun Country Airlines and United Airlines. Breeze Airways plans service to Cancun, Mexico, in January 2027.

The site reports recent traffic. It says 464,185 passengers passed through the terminal in one month, the second busiest month in airport history. Passenger numbers for the year to date rose 1.3 percent. Cargo in July fell 5.2 percent from a year earlier, to 19.8 million pounds.

The airport received an FAA grant of $205,200 for ground vehicle transponders. The transponders use ADS-B technology, so air traffic control and aircraft can see vehicle positions. The grant pays to buy and install 60 transponders. Transponders are already on 38 commission vehicles. The commission also approved a $2.16 million contract to replace parking garage lighting with LED fixtures.

The airport follows a strategic plan called Wheels Up 2030. Perry J. Miller is the president and chief executive officer. The site lists other senior staff, including a chief operating officer, a chief growth officer and a chief human resources officer. A terminal transformation project appears as a major milestone.

The site offers flight tracking, parking availability, security wait times and airline information. It lists a main switchboard at 804-226-3000 and an administration line at 804-226-3010. Lost and found is at 804-226-8585. The site has pages on business opportunities and careers, and it links to Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
