Newport News-Williamsburg Airport (IATA: PHF, ICAO: KPHF, FAA LID: PHF) is in Newport News, Virginia, United States, and serves the Hampton Roads area along with Norfolk International Airport in Norfolk. The airport is owned and operated by the Peninsula Airport Commission, a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia. PHF covers 1,800 acres (728 ha).[1]
In 2019, the airport handled 431,077 passengers, while in 2023 it handled 144,966 passengers.[2] The loss of dominant air carrier AirTran in 2012 and competition from low-cost airlines at Richmond International Airport and Norfolk International Airport has led to a drop of more than 85% in the annual number of passengers at PHF since 2011.
