Currently, there are ten routes to and from DCA greater than 1,250 miles, flown by seven airlines. Rep. Burgess Owens (R-Utah) and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) have introduced a bipartisan bill to add more flights to the airport&#8217;s daily operations, including long-haul flights.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBy limiting the number of flights in and out of National Airport, we are squeezing consumers \u2014 they are the ones paying the price.&#8221; &#8211; Hank Johnson, Transportation &amp; Infrastructure Committee<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The proposed bill is titled the\u00a0<em>Direct Capital Access Act of 2023<\/em>\u00a0or the\u00a0<em>DCA Act of 2023<\/em>. As mentioned above, the bill proposes adding new slots at DCA but no more than eight additional operations per hour between 07:00 and 21:59. No slots would be added between 22:00 and 07:00 because of the airport&#8217;s proximity to the city and to limit noise levels.

According to the Capital Access Alliance, Washington D.C. has the most expensive domestic fares of any city in the top ten metropolitan areas.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis is an issue for Congress to solve, and the time to do it is this year. Increasing the number of flights to and from DCA each day will benefit countless communities and consumers in western states by making air travel more efficient and affordable. We urge the full U.S. House to support the inclusion of The DCA Act in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization bill later this year.\u201d &#8211; Brian Walsh, Spokesperson, Capital Access Alliance<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Adding new nonstop flights would allow between 800,000 &#8211; 1,000,000 passengers to be connected to cities outside the perimeter. Beyond that, airline ticket prices would be reduced, passenger productivity would increase with passengers spending less time on flights, an estimated 1,000 &#8211; 1,300 jobs would be created, state and federal tax revenue would increase, and reduce carbon emissions by eliminating connections.<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img image-expandable img-article-item\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static1.simpleflyingimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/shutterstock_1363234196.jpg\" data-img-desc=\"&quot;Photo: Daniel J.
