Richmond International Airport

KRIC is a medium-volume commercial and general aviation airport in Henrico County with no slot requirements and no noise curfew. Private jets operate from FBO facilities separate from the commercial terminal, with Signature Flight Support handling the majority of charter and private traffic. Ramp access is straightforward and turnaround times are generally quick compared to busier regional airports like DCA or IAD.

The airport sits at 167 feet elevation with two intersecting runways, the longest at 9,003 feet, which accommodates large-cabin and ultra-long-range jets without restriction. Richmond is a practical alternative for passengers whose final destination is anywhere within a 90-mile radius of the airport, including Charlottesville, Williamsburg, and the Northern Neck.

Downtown Richmond is 7 miles west of the airport, typically 15 to 20 minutes by car without highway congestion. Williamsburg is 55 miles east, about 50 minutes. Charlottesville is 70 miles west via I-64, roughly 75 minutes. Washington DC is 108 miles north via I-95, with drive times ranging from 90 minutes to over two hours depending on traffic. Car services and black car companies operate regularly from KRIC. Rental cars are available at the commercial terminal.
