PUBLIC NOTICES
Air Carrier Incentive Program (ACIP) Public Notice
The Capital Region Airport Commission (the "Commission") as owner and operator of Richmond International Airport (the "Airport") has determined that the promotion of new air carriers at the Airport and new air service between the Airport and new and existing destinations for the benefit of the traveling public is an important goal of the Commission. The Commission has sought to increase competition, through promotion of improved access and competitive fares to and from new and existing destinations to cover its costs of operation and support increased economic development. Additionally, the Commission finds increased competition will enhance the competitiveness of air fares for the flying public and significantly reduce passenger leakage to less convenient airports.
Notice is hereby given that the Capital Region Airport Commission has approved a new Air Carrier Incentive Program (ACIP) to provide guidance about incentives for airlines to begin service to unserved domestic and international destinations. [Posted September 25, 2024.]

Tarmac Delay Plan
Occasionally, aircraft may be diverted to Richmond (RIC) or delayed for departure for extended periods for reasons that could include high traffic volumes or inclement weather. To assist customers, RIC has developed a Tarmac Delay Plan as required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), outlining the airport’s role during periods of excessive delays.
The purpose of this plan is to establish a partnership between the Capital Region Airport Commission, passenger airlines at RIC, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), concession operators, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U.S. Customs (USCBP), and ground support service providers to assist passenger airlines in the event a flight becomes delayed for any reason and passengers are on board the aircraft for long periods of time.
Plan details from the 2022 update can be viewed here.
