Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority

This week, at Dulles International Airport, we celebrated the launch of Royal Jordanian’s nonstop service from Washington, D.C., to Amman, Jordan, on a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. With this new addition, Royal Jordanian becomes the 47th airline currently serving Dulles travelers. MWAA Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer Chryssa Westerlund said, “At the core of our mission here at the Airports Authority is bringing new service, new airlines and new options for the people of the greater Washington, D.C., area. We know there are communities with ties across the Middle East that will directly benefit from this new service.” Jordanian Ambassador to the United States Dina Kawar joined in the festivities and said, “This direct flight is more than just a flight. It’s really a milestone in this friendship and relationship we have between Jordan and the U.S. It will serve as a bridge for those traveling home and back and also those who want to discover Jordan. Royal Jordanian’s new route to Washington, D.C., is the airline’s fourth U.S. gateway. #FlyDulles

2024 marked a historic milestone for Washington Dulles International Airport, solidifying our position as the busiest airport in the National Capital Region with a record-breaking 27.25 million passengers. Our growth was fueled by the addition of six new airlines— Aeromexico, Avelo Airlines , Breeze Airways? , Frontier Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, and Swiss International Air Lines along with the launch of 27 new routes. Our largest partner United Airlines launched 10 new routes, with a record capacity of 21.3million seats. United Airlines investment in our airport and community has never been stronger and we are grateful. In addition to new service, long-standing routes such as Washington to Munich received major capacity upgrades thanks to Lufthansa launching A380 operations for the summer season. International travel also reached new heights, with 10.83 million passengers, reinforcing Washington Dulles as the leading global hub for the region. Washington Dulles ranks in the top 10 of US international gateways. Our record results for 2024 is a testament to the strength of our airline partnerships. Thank you to all 46 of our airline partners for your continued investment in our local community. We would also like to thank the millions of travelers who choose Washington Dulles as their gateway to the world. #FlyIAD #YourJourneyBeginsWithUs

Last week Airports Authority employee volunteers rolled up their sleeves at the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) to help fight food insecurity in our region! Together, we packaged rice and bagged fresh tomatoes, ensuring that families in need have access to nutritious food. Thanks to these efforts, more than 3,700 families will receive essential food supplies, making a meaningful impact in our community. #MWAACares #CommunityImpact #AFAC
