“Passenger demand is a critical factor when speaking with airlines regarding improving and increasing air service to our region. Our carriers have added capacity at ROA and our customers have utilized it. We appreciate the support of our community choosing to fly ROA. Carriers will not add service to a market if the current service is not being used," stated Timothy T. Bradshaw, A.A.E., executive director of the Roanoke Regional Airport Commission.
