WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration said Thursday it may ban the Pentagon from transporting government officials on routine missions around Reagan Washington National Airport.
“Everything is on the table right now in our review to make sure that we keep a safe environmental for the vicinity around DCA,” said Franklin McIntosh, the FAA’s deputy head of air traffic control at a U.S. House of Representatives hearing.
The U.S. Army said on May 5 that it was suspending training helicopter flights in the vicinity of the Pentagon after two passenger airline flights were forced to abort landings at Reagan because a Black Hawk helicopter was flying nearby.
