McCain pushes bill to expand National Airport flights
Arlington story notes Sen. John McCain seeks to override the perimeter rule at Ronald Reagan National by adding 48 daily flights, many beyond 1,250 miles, to attract more competition and lower prices. Opponents in Northern Virginia warn of increased noise and harm to nearby Dulles Airport. Local officials fear shifts in traffic and business impact, while McCain contends the plan benefits consumers and regional growth. The proposal follows past Senate and House actions on National limits and reflects broader aviation politics.
