Raleigh-Durham International Airport Launches Redesigned Web Site

RDU Airport, NC – Raleigh-Durham International Airport today launched a new version of rdu.com. Each day, the airport’s website receives more than 10,000 page views. Understanding the importance of the website to communicate with local travelers and visitors to the Research Triangle Region, RDU has developed a site that is easy to navigate and features a mobile site, real-time flight information and the airport’s first blog.

Visitors to rdu.com most frequently are seeking information on airlines and flights at RDU, parking, terminal maps and directions to the airport. Links to this information are featured prominently on the home page.

RDU’s first blog — RDU Cruising Altitude is RDU’s first public blog. Airport Authority employees will take readers inside the airport to provide information on new flights, the airport’s air service development efforts, major construction projects and special events and promotions.
