The Capital Region Airport Commission met Tuesday morning to discuss the future of dozens of employees who fuel or maintain airplanes at Richmond International Airport.
The commission unanimously agreed to a lease amendment for Richmond Jet Center and Aero Industries, extending their presence at the airport for the next five years.
"Richmond Jet Center is committed to continuing to provide high-quality services at Richmond International Airport, as we've done for nearly 80 years. We appreciate the commission’s resolution, and we remain hopeful to finalize a lease extension, which will provide the airport, the airlines, general aviation customers, and our team with the certainty necessary to maintain and build upon the successes we've achieved in recent years,” Michael Clarke, president and CEO of Richmond Jet Center, said in a statement.
For decades, Richmond Jet Center, Aero Industries, and Million Air Richmond have exclusively operated services like plane refueling, de-icing, and maintenance for the Eastern Henrico airport.
