Credit Roanoke Blacksburg Regional Airport While the number of passengers using Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport fell to 3% of what it had seen in 2019, travelers are coming back according to marketing Director Brad Boettcher. For the first couple of weeks of April which coincided with spring break in this region I was carrying over 70% of 2019 hisotrical traffic, he recalls, and 2019 was the busiest year we had in the 2000s. Business travel remained light, but many passengers had been vaccinated and were anxious to take a vacation, visit friends or family.  Boettcher says some were lured by lower fares normally reserved for bigger airports.
