## Description

American, Delta and United Express carry the bulk of traffic at Charlottesville–Albemarle (IATA: CHO, ICAO: KCHO), splitting roughly 42, 39 and 19 percent, with low-cost carrier Avelo Airlines the latest addition. The compact field in the Blue Ridge foothills handled about 351,600 enplaned passengers in 2024, up 14 percent year on year. No all-cargo airline serves the single runway; freight of any volume moves through Richmond (RIC) or Washington Dulles (IAD). The surrounding county is shaped by the University of Virginia and by Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's hilltop home and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with vineyards of the Monticello wine region across the same hills. For shippers, CHO is a passenger gateway rather than a freight node.
