Raleigh-Durham International Airport serves the Research Triangle region of North Carolina, one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the United States. The airport has seen significant route expansion as the Triangle's booming tech and research economy has driven increased demand for both business and leisure travel.

RDU is served by all major US carriers including American, Delta, United, and Southwest, offering solid domestic coverage. The airport benefits from strong local demand driven by the Research Triangle's large corporate and university community.

For longer-haul and international connections, many RDU travelers connect through Charlotte (CLT) or Atlanta (ATL).
