Roanoke Regional Airport Commission’s Post

Happy National Air Traffic Control Day! ✈️👏🛫 On July 6, 1936, the air traffic control system was established in the U.S. under the Department of Commerce. We deeply appreciate the ROA ATC team and all air traffic controllers for your commitment to safety and for keeping planes and ground teams on track. Interested in exploring an ATC career?

Activity abounds at ROA this morning (and all mornings, afternoons, and evenings). ✈️🚚

The ROA parking lot enhancement project continues to move ahead. Here are the latest updates: 🚗 Phase 1 to open July 8: All parking on the east side of the covered walkway will reopen to new parking on July 8. 🚗 Phase 2 kicks off: Short-term parking on the west side of the covered walkway will close to new parking on July 2. All cars must be removed from the lot by July 8. 🚗 Phase 2 temporary blended pricing structure: Beginning July 8, all parking lots in front of the Terminal will shift to a blended price of $12 a day until the new exit plaza for Preferred Parking is operational following Phase 2. Economy parking, located across Aviation Drive, remains $8 a day. 🚗 Free 30-minute parking: While there is no Cell Phone Lot currently, parking in all lots is free for the first 30 minutes. 🚗 Don't cut it close: Please give yourself ample time to locate parking, check your bags, and make your way through the checkpoint.
