About The Airport
Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport (ROA) is located in the heart of Virginia's beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and has been dubbed the Mountain biking/hiking capital of the USA. The Roanoke-Blacksburg area has recently been named one of LinkedIn's "Top 20 Remote-Work Havens" and "the most affordable city on the east coast with the highest quality of living", by GoBankingRates. Positioned on I-581 just 3 miles from I-81 and 3 miles from downtown Roanoke, ROA is well positioned to serve the over 1.5 million people within a 2 hour drive in western and southwestern Virginia. There are also 25 higher education institutions within 50 miles of ROA, including Virginia Tech, Radford, Hollins, Roanoke College, VMI, Washington & Lee, Liberty, Ferrum and more. Tourism as well as business is thriving in this former "train town" turned "brain town." Led by tech, biomed, medical research, truck and automotive part manufacturing.
