A lobbying fight to allow longer flights out of Reagan National Airport is now facing new opposition after United Airlines and groups supporting Dulles Airport launched a campaign that argues against expanding long-haul domestic flights to DCA.
A lobbying fight to allow longer flights out of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is now facing new opposition after United Airlines and groups supporting Dulles International Airport launched a campaign that argues expanding long-haul domestic flights to Reagan will “increase traffic, noise, congestion, and delays.”
The latest developments come after the Capital Access Alliance, a coalition of business groups, proposed lawmakers alter the perimeter requirements at Reagan airport as part of the FAA reauthorization in late April. Both Reagan and Dulles are owned by the federal government, which means Congress has the power to decide how they operate.
“By limiting the number of flights in and out of National Airport, we are squeezing consumers — they are the ones paying the price,” Johnson said in a statement after the bill was released. “Travelers who want to visit the capital region face the most expensive domestic ticket prices compared to other major markets because of limited competition.”
