Gateway to Capital Region

Richmond International Airport is the gateway to central Virginia. Richmond International Airport has evolved into one of the most modern and well-equipped airports in the eastern United States. Located seven miles southeast of Richmond, the Capital of Virginia, and within an hour drive of historic Williamsburg and a two hour drive from Washington, D.C., the Blue Ridge Mountains, and Virginia Beach, Richmond International Airport is your hub to tourist attractions in Virginia.

Nine air carriers currently serve Richmond International Airport with non-stop flights to 22 destinations and connecting flights to destinations worldwide. More than 3.6 million passengers used Richmond International Airport in 2007 and that number continues to grow, as does the amount of air service being provided.

To help accommodate the current increase in passengers and air service, Richmond International Airport has embarked on a major expansion program. In 2007, RIC completed construction on a new, bi-level terminal building, adding new upper-level ticketing/departure and lower-level baggage claim/arrival areas, increased the total number of gates, increased parking spaces to 8,000 and created a new terminal roadway and air traffic control tower. Future plans for expansion include the construction of a new North parking garage, which would increase parking spaces at the airport to over 10,000.


Richmond International Airport also experienced a dramatic increase in cargo activities over the past 10 years. In 2007, Richmond International Airport handled over 116 million pounds of cargo. Cargo services offered at Richmond International Airport include over 100,000 s.f. of warehouse/office space and 1,000,000 s.f. of apron space. The entire airport is designated a Foreign Trade Zone.
