Reply to comment by my478thredditaccount in Question about Richmond International by The-Potion-Seller
The good news from last year is in the near future, it'll be international again. It was originally covered under the Customs branch based in Atlantia (or one of those other deep southern states around there) but was moved to be under the jurisdiction run out of Baltimore. As part of that move, they announced that they would be improving and building new infrastructure for Customs Control to meet the standards that were put in place after 9/11, as what is currently there is inadequate hence the reason we don't have international flights scheduled in and out of the airport unless it's an indirect that passes through an airport that has these facilities. I'm not sure of the timeline, but when it happens it should help open up the market some, and be a boost for airport business...

They used to have flights to/from Toronto around 2009. I flew it once, it was on one of those small turboprops. Although I think back then Canada and the US had passport-free travel, but I might be wrong.

A turbo prop all the way to Toronto? That must have been a long uncomfortable flight.
