Vision
To be the region’s preferred gateway to the world.
Connecting people, powering progress
It’s hard to believe, but we’ve been the gateway to Virginia’s Capital Region since 1927. Our central location attracts more than 4.5 million friends, family members, and business visitors traveling to and from Fredericksburg, Williamsburg, Washington, D.C., Charlottesville, Virginia Beach, and points to the east and west each year. In pursuit of our mission, the Capital Region Airport Commission recognizes the importance of providing choices for the traveling public by supporting competition among its airline operators, including Allegiant, American Airlines, BermudAir, Breeze Airways, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, and United Airlines. The success of each of these airlines is invaluable to providing a high-quality and competitive air service marketplace for the citizens of Central Virginia.
