Agency Must Report on DCA Access Progress

By March 1, the Department of Homeland Security, in conjunction with the Transportation Security Administration and Secret Service, must provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the status of restoring access to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). The order is part of the FY 2005 DHS appropriations measure Congress approved last month. “This action shows that Congress continues to want business aviation returned to Reagan National,” said NBAA president Ed Bolen. Except for certain exceptions, GA has been banned from using DCA since 9/11.
