INDUSTRY UPDATE
Reagan National Airport Opens New 14-Gate
Concourse
On April 20, the Metropolitan Washington Airports
Authority, together with American Airlines, launched
the soft opening of 14 gates in a newly constructed
225,000-square-foot concourse at Ronald Reagan
Washington National Airport (DCA).
A major milestone in the airport's Project Journey capital
improvement program, the new concourse will serve as the
home of American Airlines' regional operations at DCA and
provides direct, enclosed access to aircraft via jetbridges, as well
as spacious waiting areas. This summer, when construction is
complete, the concourse also will feature new shopping and
dining options.
" The opening of the new concourse is the culmination
of years of work by thousands of employees who overcame
numerous challenges and the seismic changes of a global
pandemic to deliver a world-class passenger experience at
Washington, D.C.'s airports, " said John E. Potter, president and
chief executive officer of the airports authority. " The airport's
$1 billion investment to transform the traveler experience inside
the terminals at the gates and along the roadways will bring a
new era of travel to American Airlines' customers, who can now
board regional jet aircraft from jetbridges instead of through
Gate 35X. "
