Business Journal Exclusive: SA ‘close’ to landing DC flights, Congressman Castro says

Leaders insist that the existing roadblocks have had a negative economic impact on the Alamo City.– San Antonio’s lengthy quest to gain nonstop air access to Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C., has spanned multiple presidential administrations but may now be nearing an end.

A federal regulatory wall known as the Perimeter Rule, established in 1966 when jet aircraft first began operating at Reagan National, has prevented San Antonio nonstop access to DCA. It was put in place to drive more traffic to Washington Dulles International Airport.Congress is expected to vote soon on new Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act legislation that could include five new slots for flights to and from DCA.

San Antonio is the largest U.S. city without nonstop flights to DCA. Much smaller markets, including Tulsa, Oklahoma; Akron, Ohio; and Cedar Rapids, Iowa; have DCA flights, according to Castro.
