Richmond Petersburg, VA, October 28, 2026 —
The Capital Region Airport Commission has approved design contracts for a new consolidated security checkpoint and a rental car connector at Richmond International Airport (RIC), while also awarding a construction contract for the connector.
The approvals cover work at different stages: design contracts were approved for both the checkpoint and connector, and a construction contract was awarded for the connector. The summary of the commission’s actions does not specify the contractor or contractors, contract values, project schedules, or the scope of the planned facilities.
Separately, preliminary planning has begun for future fuel infrastructure and fixed-base operator services at the airport. The available information does not provide further details about those plans, including their timing, proposed features, costs, or whether any contracts have been approved for that work.
The announcement identifies the Capital Region Airport Commission as the body approving the contracts and Richmond International Airport as the site of the projects. It does not state when the commission acted or provide details about the approval process.
The reported actions therefore include approved design work for two projects, a construction award for the rental car connector, and early planning for fuel infrastructure and fixed-base operator services. Further project details were not provided.
