Newport News Williamsburg International Airport (PHF)

Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF) is a primary aviation gateway for the Hampton Roads region of Virginia, located approximately 12 miles (19 km) northwest of downtown Newport News. The airport operates from a single, modern passenger terminal complex divided into two main concourses: Concourse A, which primarily handles major commercial airline operations, and Concourse B, which supports regional and charter flights. It acts as a critical infrastructure hub, providing a streamlined and efficient alternative to the larger hubs in Norfolk and Richmond. The terminal infrastructure provides a variety of essential amenities across its levels, including several dining options such as the James River Grill and a full-service Starbucks in the main lobby. Passengers have access to free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the building, dedicated family changing stations, and a specialized pet relief area located outside the terminal entrance. The facility is fully ADA-compliant and was the first in the United States to undergo a comprehensive sustainability project, integrating energy-efficient lighting and water systems into its modern design. Ground transportation at PHF is well-supported by on-site car rental desks for several major national agencies, including Avis, Budget, and Enterprise, located near the baggage claim area. Official taxi ranks are available curbside for all arriving flights, and Groome Transportation provides regular regional shuttle services to nearby military bases and the historic district of Williamsburg. The airport also offers extensive parking options, including a multi-level garage connected to the terminal and a dedicated economy lot with regular shuttle service during peak operational hours.
