FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Community and Industry Leaders Launch Coalition to Protect America’s Regional Airports
Coalition Represents a Nationwide Effort to Support the Critical Economic Contributions of Regional Airports and Ensure Their Continued Access to Our Nation’s Capital Region
(WASHINGTON D.C., MAY 31, 2023) - Today, airports, chambers of commerce, businesses, and community organizations around the country joined together to form the Coalition to Protect America’s Regional Airports (CPARA), a nationwide coalition working to protect regional airports and the critical role they play in connecting communities, creating jobs, and supporting local economies CPARA strongly opposes any changes to Reagan National Airport’s (DCA) High Density (“slot”) and perimeter rules.
CPARA believes that airport authorities – working with local communities and lawmakers – are best suited to make operational decisions at airports, which will lead to safer, more convenient, and sustainable air travel
“If the slot and perimeter rules are removed or changed, airlines will be incentivized to replace routes that promote and sustain nationwide connectivity with longer-haul, more profitable flights These lost connections will have a significant impact on the local communities that rely on regional airports for economic development as well as safe and convenient travel. However, not only will this have a negative impact on regional airports, but these proposed changes will have a profound negative effect on both Reagan National Airport and the surrounding community Congress should instead be focused on passing the FAA Reauthorization bill, which is desperately needed by the entire aviation industry and the traveling public, who are using the nation’s aviation system at historic levels.” – Scott K. York, a Coalition director and Executive Director of the Committee for Dulles.
Changing the slot and perimeter rules would have a demonstrable, disproportionate, and disruptive economic impact on regional airports within the perimeter, as well as the communities and businesses that rely on them Every additional exemption beyond the perimeter threatens access to both DCA and Dulles International Airport (IAD) for smaller in-perimeter cities and communities that connect to, or through, Washington.
Moreover, DCA is currently at capacity and at risk of being seriously overburdened should there be changes to the slot and perimeter rules. A CNN report has indicated that DCA already has the 3rd worst cancellation rate among the 30 busiest airports in the U S , while an analysis by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) found that about 20% of departures and 22% of arrivals at DCA already experience average delays of 67 minutes. The FAA estimates that the addition of 20 daily round-trip operations would increase these delays by 25.9%, and an increase of 25 daily round trip operations would increase these delays by 33.2%.
“DCA’s slot and perimeter rules were carefully designed to promote safety, ease airport congestion, and reduce traffic around the geographically constrained airport The nation’s Capital Region is served by
three airports that work in tandem.” – Jack Potter, President and CEO, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA)
A CPARA analysis of the proposed changes demonstrate that they would irresponsibly add more than 9,000 passengers per day to DCA over the objections of MWAA even though the airport is already at capacity, further straining the terminals, gates, parking lots, roads, and nearby streets and highways If these changes became law, the airport would be forced to handle 12.6 million passengers beyond what it was designed to handle, without any regard for the impact on passenger safety or convenience. Moreover, these additional passengers would have to be accommodated at an airport that literally has nowhere to grow, given the geographic constraints of its location, and at an airport with some of the shortest runways in the country, which are not equipped to handle larger aircraft.
Congress should be focused on fixing the pilot and air traffic controller shortages, supporting an industry still recovering from the pandemic, and promoting safety and security – not jeopardizing regional communities across America.

About The Coalition to Protect America’s Regional Airports
The Coalition to Protect America’s Regional Airports (CPARA) strongly believes that airport authorities –working with local communities and lawmakers – are best placed to make operational decisions at our airports, which will lead to safer, more convenient, and sustainable air travel
We oppose any changes to the High Density (“slot”) and perimeter rules at Reagan National Airport (DCA) DCA is currently at capacity and at risk of being seriously overburdened should there be changes to the slot and perimeter rules Adding more flights from DCA could create unnecessary gridlock, threaten jobs and local businesses, risk connectivity for countless communities, and increase congestion, delays, and noise.
DCA Perimeter Rule Changes: Gridlock, Lost Air Service, & Billions Wasted
Gridlock at Reagan National Airport (DCA)
• DCA is completely at capacity on the air, ground, in the terminal, and at parking lots.1
• DCA is one of only 3 airports in the country where the FAA has capped flights to directly manage congestion; DCA operates today at the maximum allowed under this cap.
• DCA has the 3rd worst cancellation rate among the 30 busiest U.S. airports, trailing only LGA and EWR.
• DCA is designed for 15 million passengers annually. Last year, 24 million passengers flew through DCA.
• With as many as 900 flights a day, aircraft land or depart DCA every minute of the day.2
• DCA has 58 gates and each turns as many as 8 aircraft per day, the industry standard maximum.3
• Security and boarding areas are overcrowded, and aging baggage claims increasingly overburdened.
• In 2022, DCA parking was greater than 90% for 132 days, including days with customers turned away.
• Air Traffic: DCA is already facing a 27% shortage of certified controllers below its FAA target number. More flights will exacerbate the impact of this shortage, furthering delays and cancellations.
• GAO found that the addition of a limited number of beyond perimeter flights in 2012 – operated with larger aircraft – resulted in more delays and congestion at DCA due to longer landing times, increased separation standards, and ground congestion.4
• 2023 summer travel congestion: the FAA has already asked carriers to reduce flying in NYC and at DCA.
• IAD provides significant access to the capital region. Changes to the perimeter rule threaten IAD’s ability to grow and add more service/frequencies for communities across the country to the capital.
Loss of and Reduction in Service Inside Perimeter
• The majority of the U.S. population is within the 1250-mile DCA perimeter. DCA serves over 100 markets with direct flights to forty states and territories. Communities within the perimeter are at serious risk of losing service if the DCA perimeter rule is eliminated or modified.
• Zero Sum Game: The airspace is not infinite. For every flight added outside of the perimeter, an inperimeter flight is at risk, especially those to rural and small communities.
• Revenue: Airlines always seek to fly routes to the most lucrative destinations. The least profitable short DCA flights will be the first to be replaced by higher-revenue new opportunities
Wasted Investments in Washington-Dulles International Airport (IAD)
• IAD’s viability as a connecting hub jeopardized. The airport cannot survive on local traffic alone.
• Billions in IAD public and private investments and future growth plans are at stake.
• Transit: Federal/state taxpayers invested over $3 billion in the Metro Silver Line extension.
• Highway: Virginia has invested in a dedicated highway to provide access for passengers to IAD.
• New Terminal: The Federal government and private sector are partnering on an approximately $1 billion new 14-gate concourse development at IAD.
Infrastructure at DCA Limited, while IAD Still Growing
• DCA airport infrastructure physically cannot safely accommodate additional flights or larger aircraft.
• Aircraft: The Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320 – medium range aircraft – are the most frequently flown models from DCA to beyond perimeter routes due to infrastructure limitations.
• Runways: IAD has four runways that are nearly twice the size of the three at DCA. IAD was designed to host widebody, international and long-distance aircraft.
• Gates: DCA has 58 gates, while IAD has 135 gates, with plans and space to grow.
Changes to the DCA Perimeter Rule are a Poison Pill for 2023 FAA Reauthorization Bill
1This excludes overnight hours DCA is at full capacity between the peak hours of 7:00 a m and 11:00 p m , when passengers want to fly
2 DCA is slotted between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 11:59 p.m., including for noise constraints during overnight hours.
3 The Airport Cooperative Research Program has determined that maximum capacity for an airport is 6-8 gate turns per day 4
