Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
Ronald Reagan Washington National
Airport, also known as Washington National Airport, (IATA: DCA, ICAO: KDCA, FAA
LID: DCA) is an airport in Arlington, Virginia that is one of two major
airports serving Washington, D.C., the other being Washington Dulles
International Airport approximately 30 miles (48 km) to the west in Fairfax and
Loudoun counties. It is the nearest
commercial airport to the capital and serves the Baltimore–Washington
metropolitan area. Called Washington National Airport both historically and
contemporarily, the airport was renamed to honor President Ronald Reagan in
1998. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority
(MWAA) operates the airport with close oversight by the federal government due
to its proximity to the national capital.
It is located in the neighborhood of
Crystal City in the county of Arlington, Virginia, 5 miles (10 km) south of
Downtown Washington. It covers 861 acres (348 ha) of land.
Reagan National is a hub for American
Airlines which operates near-hourly air shuttle flights to Logan International
Airport in Boston and New York LaGuardia Airport. Delta also operates
near-hourly air shuttle flights to New York LaGuardia Airport which are all
operated by Delta Shuttle. In the 12 months ending March 2015, the airport
served 21,195,775 passengers.
Other than 40 slot exemptions, flights
into and out of the airport are not allowed to exceed 1,250 nautical miles
(2,320 km; 1,440 mi) in any direction nonstop, in an effort to send
coast-to-coast and overseas traffic to the larger but more distant Washington
Dulles International Airport.
Reagan National has United States
immigration and customs facilities only for business jet traffic; the only
scheduled international flights allowed to land at the airport are those from
airports with U.S. Customs and Border Protection preclearance facilities. Other
international passenger flights must use Washington Dulles International
Airport or Baltimore–Washington International Airport.
