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.
Air Carrier Incentive Program (ACIP)
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. Accordingly, the Commission outlines available support via its Air Carrier Incentive Program.
Since approval of the program by the Commission in September 2024, three agreements have been executed, allowing new routes to receive marketing and operational incentives. Specifically:

- Breeze Airways, Richmond-New Haven (HVN). Service started February 2025.
- BermudAir, Richmond-Hamilton (BDA). Service starts June 2025.
