DCA by the Numbers

Annual Passengers: ~23M (2023) · constrained by slot rules + perimeter restrictions, but the most politically important airport in the US given its 5-mile proximity to Capitol Hill.
Daily Flights (avg): ~800 arrivals + departures combined · heavy hourly shuttle banks to BOS, NYC LGA, and ORD; mid-morning Pentagon + agency arrival bank.
Active Runways: 3 — 1/19 (7,169 ft), 15/33 (5,204 ft), 4/22 (5,000 ft). All short by major-hub standards. The iconic Runway 19 "river approach" follows the Potomac to avoid restricted Pentagon + National Mall airspace.
Hub Airlines: American Airlines (Terminal C + B — largest carrier), Delta Air Lines + United Airlines + Southwest + JetBlue.
Year Opened: 1941 as Washington National Airport; renamed Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in 1998.
Notable: "The Perimeter Rule" limits flights to 1,250 mi from DCA (with 20 grandfathered + 20 exemption slots). Effectively means no nonstop service to the West Coast except for the limited exemption flights. Closest commercial airport to the US Capitol — just 5 miles. Metro Yellow + Blue Line station inside the terminal. The historic 1941 Terminal A (designed by Pittsburgh's C.W. Schaefer) is a National Register-listed Art Moderne gem.
