NBAA Urges Reopening of Reagan National and TFRs to General Aviation

March 16, 2004

NBAA President and CEO Shelley A. Longmuir urged that Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) be reopened to security-qualified general aviation (GA) aircraft. In testimony before the House Aviation Subcommittee, Longmuir unveiled a program called Secure Access – a security protocol equal to that employed by the scheduled commercial carriers – that would ensure the safe operation of general aviation aircraft at the airport while again generating millions of dollars a year in economic activity in the Washington, DC region.
