Washington National Airport
How important is it to your operation to have GA return to National Airport? What kind of security would you put up with inorder to have access again?
I personally think GA should be allowed back in since I don't believe we pose any type of risk, at least on the corporate level. If security is the problem, why not have "gateway" airports scattered around the country that we can clear some sort of screening process. I heard for the Salt Lake City Olympics, we may have to clear US Customs from certain gateway airports before we can fly into SLC. Why couldn't this process be expanded to cover traffic into DCA? We could make a "gateway airport", an airport that has US Customs on site already, and after screening, we can only fly directly to Washington. For the outbound traffic, have Customs inspect the aircraft be departure.
