FBOs
Virginia Airport To Vote on Taking Over FBOs
Airport commission considers consolidating two service providers
Richmond Jet Center FBO
Richmond Jet Center at Virginia's Richmond International Airport is one of two FBOs whose fate lies in the balance as the Capital Region Airport Commission votes this week to decide whether or not to take over the aviation service business there.

Virginia’s Richmond International Airport (KRIC) has issued a proposal to take control of its two FBOs, with a meeting planned for tomorrow. The Capital Region Airport Commission will vote on a resolution presented last week by KRIC president and CEO Perry Miller that would eliminate Richmond Jet Center—which has more than seven decades in operation at the field—as well as the Million Air Richmond FBO (in operation since 1992) in favor of one airport-controlled entity.

The vote announcement comes after the commission issued and then canceled two RFPs in the midst of the evaluation process over the past year and a half. While the first RFP noted leases for two aviation service providers, the second—seemingly in violation of the airport’s grant assurances—was for only one, despite the fact that both FBO leases are due to expire in early 2026.
