Va.’s US Sens. Kaine, Warner introduce bill to curb overcrowding at Reagan National Airport

"Federal lawmakers will consider a proposal to reduce congestion around Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, one of the busiest aviation hubs in the nation.

Virginia’s U.S. Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, both Democrats, announced the DCA Air Safety Act on Thursday, after the completion of the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation of the deadly 2025 crash near the airport between an American Airlines Bombardier jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River.

The senators’ proposal would cap hourly arrivals, reduce flight clustering, and the specific time windows for flights to take off or land.

Kaine said in a statement that Congress must do more to ensure that the 'highest level' of safety regulations are in place to prevent future tragedies."
