Part Of An Initiative To Restore GA Activity At Reagan National
Airport
TSA has granted approval to Cutter Aviation at Phoenix Sky
Harbor Int’l Airport (KPHX) as an FBO gateway for approved
general and corporate aviation flights to Ronald Reagan Washington
National Airport (KDCA). The designation is part of the DASSP (DCA
Access Standard Security Program) initiative to restore General
Aviation access to the airport. Cutter Aviation PHX is one of less
than 80 facilities nationwide to receive the DASSP approval from
the TSA. The approval was granted on August 30, 2011, and is
available for DCA Gateway operations effective immediately.
“We are pleased to now offer our customers the flexibility
of travel directly to Washington D.C. through Reagan National
Airport, which has been heavily restricted since September 11,
2001.” said Richard Campbell, Operations Manager for Cutter
Aviation Phoenix Sky Harbor. “With the number of government
contractors in the greater Phoenix area, this added convenience
will aid in the growth of business within our area.”
Since September 11, 2001, aircraft arrivals into KDCA, only
three miles from downtown Washington D.C., have been restricted by
the TSA to include only select commercial airline flights in the
interest of national security. The TSA began granting approval for
select General and Corporate Aviation operations for arrival
through DCA in 2006, but all operators and gateway FBO facilities
must comply with strict security standards before being approved
for operations into DCA.
Approved DASSP operators may now use Cutter Aviation Phoenix Sky
Harbor as their departure point into KDCA.
