Expanded Flight Operations at Reagan National Airport
October 18, 2001
Secretary Norman Y. Mineta today announced an expansion of flight operations
at Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA). The expansion, or Phase II, will begin
on Friday, October 26, pending the implementation of further enhanced security
measures at all airports serving DCA.
“Reagan National Airport is an important symbol of the enduring strength
of our nation,” said Secretary Mineta. “The Bush Administration will
continue to work with aviation and law enforcement officials to ensure the safety
and stability of flight operations at DCA, and we look forward to further operation
expansions.”
Earlier this month, President George W. Bush announced the phased reopening
of DCA under heightened security beginning Thursday, October 4, for flights
to eight hub airports served by six airlines (Phase I). Phase II, which is expected
to last for a period of 45 days, increases the number of airports served by
18, for a total of 26. The following is a list of each city that is eligible
