## Description

About 223 million pounds of air cargo — roughly 100,000 tonnes — moved through Richmond International (RIC) in 2025, an all-time record for Virginia's capital airport. Set beside the James River, RIC handles both passengers and freight for the central part of the state. Four heavyweights share the ramp: DHL, FedEx, UPS and e-commerce carrier Amazon. The field offers about 142,000 square feet of warehouse with direct apron access, 750,000 square feet of cargo apron and the duty-deferring shelter of Foreign-Trade Zone 207, while a 253-million-dollar expansion is under way. Interstate 64 meets Interstate 95 at its doorstep, CSX rail runs alongside, and a container barge on the James River links the airport area to the Richmond Marine Terminal. One landmark ties it to history: the nearby Virginia State Capitol was designed by Thomas Jefferson.
