About Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport FBO
The airport-operated FBO at Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport serves the communities of Staunton, Waynesboro, and Harrisonburg in Virginia's central Shenandoah Valley. Located in Weyers Cave, about 12 miles northeast of Staunton, the facility provides fuel services with Jet A and 100LL, tie-down and limited hangar space, and coordination of ground transportation, hotel reservations, crew catering, and rental cars.
The terminal building was expanded in the 1990s with additional lounge space, a concession area, and an observation area. While the amenities are modest compared to larger metro FBOs, the staff provides personal attention that larger operations often cannot match. The airport is operated by a commission representing the cities of Staunton and Waynesboro, the city of Harrisonburg, and the counties of Augusta and Rockingham.
The Shenandoah Valley draws visitors for its natural beauty, with Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway accessible within 30 to 45 minutes by car. Skyline Drive runs along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the east. The valley is also home to James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee University in Lexington (about 40 minutes south), and a growing craft beverage scene with wineries, breweries, and cideries scattered along the valley corridor.
The primary runway, 5/23, runs 6,002 feet, suitable for light and midsize jets. The airport's elevation of 1,201 feet keeps density altitude manageable. For passengers visiting the Shenandoah Valley, Charlottesville, or the historic Lexington area, this FBO provides direct access to a region that would otherwise require a lengthy drive from Richmond, Dulles, or Roanoke.
