RIC Airport Flight Status: Richmond International Airport

RIC Airport, formally Richmond International Airport (IATA RIC, ICAO KRIC), is the airport of Richmond in the United States and a quiet field in our data: our own 30-day reception measurement recorded an average of 1.7 aircraft observations per day near the airport. The live radar on this page shows the aircraft arriving at and departing from Richmond International Airport right now, and for a flight that is due today the arrivals and departures pages linked above the radar are the place to check first. The sections below explain what that measurement says, and list the three nearby airports in our database that have their own pages on this site.

RIC and KRIC: two codes, one airport

RIC is the three-letter IATA code you will find on tickets and booking confirmations for Richmond; KRIC is the four-letter ICAO code used in aviation datasets, including ours. Both refer to the same field, which our database places at 37.5052 degrees north and 77.3197 degrees west. Our database also lists Richmond International in the large airport size class; that label describes the airport's category in our data, while the traffic level in the opening describes only the aircraft we recorded.

What our own 30-day measurement shows

The traffic figure in the opening is our own measured data, so it deserves a short explanation. For 30 days our reception measurement recorded aircraft near Richmond International Airport, and the daily average of 1.7 is what came out of that period. An average smooths out day-to-day variation, so a single day at Richmond can sit above or below it; read the figure as context next to the live radar, which shows the flights of the moment. Our data for Richmond lists no busiest window, so the daily average is the only traffic figure we can offer for RIC. No airline reached a count in our 30-day measurement at RIC either.

Nearby airports

Richmond is not the only departure point in this part of the United States with a page on this site; three alternatives sit within 122 km. The closest is Newport News Williamsburg International Airport, 84 km from RIC. The other two are almost equally far away: Norfolk International Airport at 120 km and Charlottesville Albemarle Airport at 122 km.

If your plans around Richmond change, or you want to compare RIC with another departure point before booking, those three pages are the places to look.
