Capital Region Airport Commission

Established in 1975 by an act of the Virginia General Assembly, the Capital Region Airport Commission owns and operates Richmond International Airport. The Commission directs the growth, operation, and business activities of RIC, which has served central Virginia's air travel needs since 1927 and continually strives to improve the quality of air service provided to all travelers in and around the Greater Richmond Region.

County of Henrico

• Terminal building rent
  
• Cargo ramp fees
  
• Aircraft landing fees
  
• Parking and other ground transportation fees
  
• Terminal advertising fees
  
• Concession fees from rental car companies
