Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
The Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport tour will start in the historic Terminal A lobby of the original 1941 terminal building with a presentation on Project Journey, the planned $1 billion, multi‐year capital improvement project that will transform the passenger experience at Reagan National Airport. Project Journey includes construction of two new security checkpoints that will connect the concourse level of Terminal B/C to airline gate areas and build-out of an enclosed concourse with jet bridges to replace the 14 outdoor gates currently serviced by buses from Gate 35X. The project started in the summer of 2017, and multiple areas will be under construction during the summer of 2019. After the presentation, participants will tour the B/C Concourse, with observations of the construction of the new security checkpoint buildings and the concourse extension.
