THE MORE WE FLY, THE FURTHER WE’LL GO
Fly for the Future is a boarding call for everyone who cares about the economic strength of our region. When you choose to fly from ROA, you’re not just booking a ticket – you’re helping to build a better economy and supporting future air service. This could lead to larger planes, greater competition, and lower fares.
Flying ROA is also an investment in your airport’s infrastructure. Grants and loans for airport improvement projects are based on activity — the greater number of passengers and operations, the greater the funding available. Parking, rents, and concessions are also a source of revenue for future improvements.
Fly ROA and You Can Help
- Build a stronger regional economy
- Support local jobs and development
- Tell the airlines that our region matters
- Enhance our region's air service opportunities
