OPERATIONS and STATISTICS

Slot and Perimeter Rules

Primarily serving as a “short-haul” airport, Reagan National offers nonstop service to destinations no further than a 1,250 mile perimeter from Washington, D.C. as part of the federally-instituted “Perimeter Rule.” The federal government has granted exceptions to this rule, allowing daily flights to the following six cities beyond the perimeter: Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Seattle.

The “slot rule” was created by the FAA in 1969 at five high-density airports to reduce congestion and spur growth at other nearby airports. Reagan National’s slot rule limits the number of landings and takeoffs to 62 per hour. Federal legislation in 2000 and 2003 added 24 and 22 new slots, respectively.
