History
Opened June 1941 as Washington National Airport; renamed in 1998 for President Ronald Reagan. Like LGA, DCA operates under a perimeter rule (1,250-mile cap with limited beyond-perimeter slot exceptions) and is largely domestic-only. Across the Potomac from Washington and accessible by Metro, the airport is the closest commercial airport to the Capitol.

About this profile
Reference data (codes, coordinates, elevation, runways, owner, opening date) is curated from each airport's official authority page, the FAA's airport reference system for US airports, NAV CANADA and Transport Canada for Canadian airports, and AFAC and the operating concessionaire for Mexican airports. Latest passenger figures are CY 2023 totals where confidently sourced.
Live METAR and TAF are fetched from NOAA's Aviation Weather Center on each page load. NOTAMs (US airports) are fetched from the FAA NOTAM Search. If a source is unreachable when this page loads, the corresponding section displays an "unavailable" message rather than a blank or stale value.
This data is re-verified on a recurring monthly cadence aligned to the FAA's NASR 28-day cycle.
