Headquartered in the state capital of Richmond, Virginia, the Virginia Department of Aviation - DOAV is responsible for ensuring that the Commonwealth of Virginia has safe, secure, and efficient flight services that foster economic development. The department was originally established as the Virginia Division of Aeronautics, operating under the State Corporation Commission. In 1979, the Commonwealth transferred the Virginia Department of Aviation to the executive branch, reporting to the Secretary of Transportation. The Virginia Department of Aviation is comprised of five key divisions: the Director's Office, Airport Services, Communications and Education, Flight Operations and Safety, and the Finance and Administration Division. Throughout the organization, the DOAV and its staff are committed to values of quality service, accountability, professionalism, innovation, and balance. As part of these core values, the Virginia Department of Aviation joins the state in providing its employees with opportunities for community involvement, work-life balance, and personal and professional growth. In the past, flexible DOAV jobs have been available for full-time, optional remote work arrangements. 

The Virginia Department of Aviation works toward a vision to establish the state’s aviation network as a model for air transportation systems. Its programs include delivering state funds for public-use airports, providing aviation safety seminars, enabling weather information access, and administering the Aviation Security Program. The Virginia Department of Aviation also conducts outreach through the annual Virginia Aviation Conference and an ambassadors program designed to encourage pilots to visit Virginia’s airports, aviation museums, and seminars.
