COMPANY BACKGROUND

Overview

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) is a public body, corporate and politic, created by joint legislation establishing an interstate compact between the Commonwealth of Virginia and the District of Columbia. As authorized by the federal law in the Metropolitan Washington Airports Act of 1986, Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA) and Washington Dulles International Airports (IAD) have been leased to the Airports Authority by the United States.

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority is governed by a 17-member Board of Directors. The Board establishes policy and provides direction to management, and its authority is plenary. Members of the Board are appointed by the Governors of Virginia and Maryland, the Mayor of Washington, D.C., and the President of the United States.

Reagan Washington National Airport overview

Situated on a total of 860 acres, the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, or DCA, is an international commercial airport with three runways, 58 airline gates, and public parking for more than 8,500 vehicles. DCA primarily serves as a “short haul” airport, offering nonstop service to destinations no further than a 1,250-mile perimeter from Washington, D.C. as part of the federally instituted “Perimeter Rule”. The federal government has granted exceptions to this rule over the years, allowing daily flights to several cities beyond the perimeter such as Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phenix, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, and Austin. DCA has nearly 100 shops and restaurants in the airport terminals. DCA is the smaller of the two airports. A “slot rule” was created by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 1969 at five high density airports to reduce congestion and spur growth at other nearby airports. DCA’s slot rule limits the number of landings and takeoffs to 62 per hour.

History

On June 7, 1987, Washington Dulles International and Washington National Airports were transferred to the Airports Authority under a 50-year lease authorized by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Act of 1986, Title VI of Public Law 99-500. All property was transferred to the Airports Authority, and the Federal government holds title to the lease. Prior to the transfer, the airports were owned and operated by the Federal Aviation Administration in the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The Airports Authority operates a two-airport system that provides domestic and international air service for the mid-Atlantic region. The organization consists of more than 1,500 employees in a structure that includes central administration, airports management and operations, and police and fire departments.

On February 6, 1998, President William Jefferson Clinton signed into law the bill introduced and passed in Congress that changed the name of Washington National Airport to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

In addition to operating Reagan National and Dulles International, the Airports Authority is responsible for capital improvements at both airports. Major renovations at Reagan National Airport resulted in the opening of Terminal B/C on July 27, 1997–providing more comfortable and efficient passenger facilities that are convenient to the Metrorail system and parking garages. Nearly 20 years later, unprecedented passenger growth beyond the terminal’s designed capacity led to the launch of Project Journey. The $1 billion construction program will transform the passenger experience by eliminating buses to 14 outdoor airline gates, converting gate areas in Terminal B/C into a connected concourse and improving airport roadways and parking facilities.

The Dulles Development program, or D2, was a major capital construction program that improved the facilities and provided additional capacity at Dulles Airport. New facilities completed in the D2 program included a new airport traffic control tower, expanded airline gates, a fourth runway and the AeroTrain system–which opened in 2010.

On November 1, 2008, the Commonwealth of Virginia transferred the daily operation, maintenance, and control of the Dulles Toll Road to the Airports Authority. Tolls collected are used for operation, maintenance, and improvements in the Dulles corridor, and to fund a portion of the construction of Metrorail in the Dulles corridor.

The Airports Authority is not taxpayer-funded but is self-supporting, using aircraft landing fees, rents, and revenues from concessions to fund operating expenses. Airport capital improvements are funded by bonds issued by the Airports Authority, Federal and State Airport Improvement Program funds and Passenger Facility Charges.
