Largely as a result of US Airways exiting the Richmond-New York market, the number of airline seats available for RIC passengers in July will be down 5.9 percent from the same month a year ago, and August's seats will be down 8.2 percent from August 2011.
Air carriers have been cutting the number of seats available on flights at Richmond International Airport to reduce their costs and make it easier to fill their planes while maintaining ticket prices.
Since discount carrier JetBlue Airways left the Richmond-JFK market in November 2010, seven-day advance purchase fares have quintupled in price, Bell said, going from about $150 for a round-trip ticket to $780 now.

However, passenger traffic is down 3.3 percent for the first 11 months of the fiscal year that ends Saturday, the commission said: 2,897,152 passengers so far compared with 2,995,161 in the prior period.
