Book transfer →About Ronald Reagan Washington
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is located immediately across the Potomac River from Washington DC and is one of the most constrained airports in the US, operating under strict slot controls, perimeter rules, and flight restrictions. Its proximity to restricted military airspace and the Capitol creates a complex ATC environment. DCA's short runways limit it to smaller aircraft, and its position in the DC metro area means political and security events can impose temporary flight restrictions.
