Reagan National Airport Faces Flight Suspensions for Army Parade

Reagan National Airport is expected to face temporary flight suspensions on June 14 due to President Donald Trump's planned Army anniversary parade, the Federal Aviation Administration announced Thursday.

Aircraft flyovers and a fireworks display will require the FAA to suspend operations at the airport, potentially disrupting scheduled flights for up to four hours. This shutdown will affect thousands of travelers, as Reagan National is located less than two miles from the National Mall.

The parade celebrates the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and coincides with President Trump's 79th birthday. Earlier this year, a helicopter and an American Airlines jet collided, resulting in the deadliest U.S. air disaster in over 20 years.
