RIC recently joined Holman Middle School’s Career Day to share the many opportunities available in the aviation industry.
Dereck Tingfah, Manager of Airport Operations, and Michelle Barnett, Community Engagement Coordinator, spoke with students about what happens behind the scenes at RIC. Students enjoyed airport trivia, interactive discussions, and RIC swag while learning more about careers in aviation and the future of travel. 🛫
A brand-new Mother's Room has opened in Concourse B! 👩🍼
Designed to give traveling moms a quiet, private space while on the go, this new addition is part of the many upgrades and enhancements rolling out across the airport. From new amenities to improved passenger spaces, we’re continuing to invest in making the travel experience at RIC easier and more comfortable for everyone.
@reobernie@AlaskaAir Bernie, thanks so much for making the suggestion. While @AlaskaAir has never previously operated flights between @flySEA and Richmond, we would welcome such service to open up an amazing PNW gateway for Central Virginia travelers!
@ERated_ It would be helpful to know flight info such as date, time, airline, and arriving flight number so that we can reach out to your airline and its contracted ground handler.
@sports_shoppin Sorry you had any trouble at all, @sports_shoppin, relieved you made your flight! We post parking status with the arrivals and departures table on the home page of https://t.co/TdXv9Fp9qQ. Additional improvements, including a parking guidance system in the decks, are on the way.
It’s official!
With all required approvals received, the transaction combining Allegiant and Sun Country has closed. This marks a major milestone and the beginning of an exciting new chapter in leisure travel.
Together, we'll create more opportunities for travelers, including expanded destinations, greater access to international travel, and enhanced rewards over time.
For now, though, nothing has changed. Both airlines will continue to operate independently while integration is underway, and our focus remains clear: maintaining the dependable, value-based travel experience passengers know today.
If you have an upcoming trip, continue to use the airline you booked with for all aspects of your trip. Flights, schedules, policies, and loyalty programs remain unchanged at this time.
