The Need to Bring General Aviation to Reagan National Airport

The author of this article (Paragraph No. 20,361) notes that general aviation has been barred from Washington, DC's Reagan National Airport (DCA) since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. In this essay he argues that the loss of general aviation at DCA is a costly economic burden to business and to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, and has resulted in congestion at the region's other commercial airports. In addition, the general aviation industry has developed sophisticated programs that would allow secure flights to and from DCA, the author argues.
