Class Charlie Operations: Richmond (KRIC)September 19, 2015 2300-0200z (1900-2200E, 1600-1900P)
The Virtual Washington ARTCC is pleased to staff up another of our Class C airports in the Commonwealth of Virginia's capital: Richmond. (KRIC) Located only 82nm south of Washington National Airport, those pilots frequenting Washington airspace often may be familiar with Richmond most for the heavy arrival streams overhead into all of the Washington Metropolitan Airports. However on September 19th we're looking to change this area's focus from overflights to destination. Despite its proximity to Washington, Richmond features mainline and regional airline service from American, Delta, and United, service from Allegiant, Jetblue, and Southwest, and cargo service from UPS and FedEx to serve a total of over 3 million passengers and over 100k aircraft movements annually. In addition to a healthy amount of airline support Richmond is also a popular general aviation hub for those traveling to both Virginia's and the nation's capital. Whatever equipment you bring we hope to have you join us for Class Charlie Operations at Richmond.
