Terminal 2: Our Region
RDU serves the Research Triangle Region of North Carolina.
The Research Triangle Region is nationally recognized as one of the most dynamic and globally competitive regions in the world. The economy is supported by the stability of government, institutions of higher education and medical complexes. Home to the world-renowned Research Triangle Park, it is driven by the growth industries of technology, research and biosciences.
Transnational corporations and research universities have significant business ties with Western Europe and Southeast and South Central Asia, creating a strong demand for international business travel.
Continued growth and diversity in air service is a critical component of keeping the region competitive for continued job growth and investments.
More than 10 million passengers used RDU in 2007, for a 6.4 percent gain in passenger traffic over 2006. RDU is poised to grow at a pace equal to that of the region. The correlation between regional growth and the growth of RDU is an easy one. As more people and companies relocate to our region, the demand for air service grows.
