Key Aviation Leaders Introduce Legislation To Reopen National
To Charter Operations
A new bill introduced Thursday on Capitol Hill would
require the DHS, in consultation with the Department of
Transportation, to develop regulations within six months of the
bill's passage that would allow charter and general aviation
operations to resume at DCA. Such regulations may include the
screening of all flights entering the airport, physical inspections
of aircraft, advance clearance of passenger manifests by the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and limiting the
airports from which flights into DCA can originate.
