Senators Introduce Bill to Reduce Overcrowding and Enhance Safety at Reagan National Airport

Virginia's U.S. Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner introduced the 'DCA Air Safety Act' on September 15, 2026, aiming to reduce congestion and improve safety at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The proposal follows a deadly 2025 crash near the airport and seeks to cap hourly arrivals, reduce flight clustering, and set specific time windows for takeoffs and landings by requiring the FAA to reduce the Airport Arrival Rate.
