Conditions improve at RIC, but cancelations still persist

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- After nearly all of the flights out of Richmond International Airports (RIC) were canceled on Sunday due to a winter storm, cancelations have since dwindled as conditions improved.

According to a spokesperson with RIC, as of Tuesday, Jan. 27, conditions around the airport had "significantly improved over the weekend, despite lingering cold temps."

The airport said its role is to keep infrastructure like runways, taxiways and roadways open and operational. Staff have reportedly done so through the storm and have continued to "tidy up where necessary," said a spokesperson with RIC.

On Sunday, Jan. 25 all remaining flights our of RIC were canceled along with most arriving flights as well.

RIC said most of its cancellations on Tuesday are to and from the northeast and that there's a "geographic focus that may be related to a greater storm impact in that region," said a spokesperson with the airport.

For those flying out of RIC on Tuesday, Jan. 27, be sure to double-check your flight information, as 17 flights out of the 130 have been canceled, according to RIC.
