As the spring break season kicks off with record travel this month and D.C. tourism officials “anticipate strong numbers” for the National Cherry Blossom Festival, it’s imperative that we remind leaders that Reagan National Airport (DCA) is at capacity with no room to grow. The Coalition to Protect America’s Regional Airports (CPARA) urges Congress to listen to the experts who have repeatedly stated that bringing more flights to an already at-capacity DCA will only worsen delays, cancellations and safety concerns. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) both maintain that DCA is at capacity. It is home to the nation’s busiest commercial runway and has had one of the nation’s top 10 cancellation rates every year since 2012. DCA also ranks 10th among the most delayed U.S. airports, and the FAA has said that “additional flights at DCA would likely have a negative impact on operational performance and passenger experience.” This leaves us with the same question as MWAA CEO John Potter – “How can anyone credibly say that Washington’s smallest airport, with the busiest runway in America, is underutilized?” Read more: https://lnkd.in/emYGW8iT.
More Flights at DCA Promise More Delays and Cancellations

An OAG report entitled ‘Navigating the future of air travel: Insights for 2024’ revealed some trends and predictions that will influence aviation in 2024. Notably, it predicts that airfares will be unlikely to fall substantially and should remain stable with minor fluctuations only. The report suggests that underlying factors, such as increased salaries and fluctuating oil prices, mitigate against airfares decreasing. But it also says that transatlantic routes (between Europe and North America) routes are the ones to watch – any additional capacity added on those routes could push prices down.

Spend lots of time thinking about how people get from "Point A" to "Point B" & how to make the journey more joyful.
#Airline #travel to and from our nation's capital has hit record levels, according to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, with over 50M passengers last year. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport - DCA hit a new overall record and Dulles International Airport - IAD hit new international levels with 25M passengers overall and a 27% increase in international travel. For perspective, from the pandemic, in 2020 they had only 2M international travelers and in 2021, only 3.4M, so massive increase in just a few years. #commercialaviation https://lnkd.in/eDxn8GWc

While air travel is distributed throughout the USA, 14 million across a long weekend is still A LOT of people. TSA expects to screen more than 14 million passengers during the Labor Day holiday weekend through Sept. 6. The busiest day is projected to be today, when TSA expects to screen over 2.7 million travelers passing through security checkpoints. The agency has screened about 227.5 million passengers since Memorial Day weekend, an average of 2.5 million per day. Travel volumes during this summer travel period are higher than 2019 during the same summer travel period, marking the busiest summer travel period on record. #airtravel #airports #airlines #tsa

ANALYSIS: Long-distance flight advanced rapidly between the 1930s and early 1960s, shaving off the number of hours in the sky by half. But over the past 60 years, the duration of such flights has remained roughly the same. Meanwhile, the ecosystem of air travel has grown more elaborate, often leaving passengers squirming in their seats on the tarmac before or after flight. Coast-to-coast air travel is in a rut — but there are still efforts to improve this mode of transit.
