The Capital Region Airport Commission reported 439,951 total passengers for July 2023 at Richmond International Airport (RIC), a new record surpassing the previous mark established earlier this year (431,416 in May).
“While we’re certainly pleased with the July results, we’re not surprised,” said Capital Region Airport Commission president and CEO Perry J. Miller, A.A.E., I.A.P. “The Richmond Region has seen tremendous growth with in-migration, several significant economic development announcements, and an array of attractive new route offerings and enhancements by airlines operating from RIC.”
Three airlines, Breeze, Delta, and Spirit, saw year-over-year traffic increases exceeding 25 percent.
For the calendar year to date, passenger traffic has increased 19.2 percent versus a year ago.
