What to plan for

1. 1

   A small field with special rules

   Because the airport lies inside the Flight Restricted Zone, plans can depend on the operator’s arrangements. We confirm the details with you and your operator before the day.

2. 2

   Close to the river crossings

   The airfield sits near the Potomac, with the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and the roads to the District close by. Pickups are timed to the traffic at the hour you travel.

3. 3

   Private flights follow the aircraft

   Transfers are booked against the tail number and operator and timed to the latest estimate, with the meeting point agreed in advance.

What we need to book

• Tail number and operator
• The FBO and the estimated arrival or departure time
• Passengers and bags, including anything oversized
• The name and number of whoever will send updates
