Washington DC airport says flights to be suspended during Trump’s Army parade

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Washington’s Reagan National Airport announced on Thursday that the Federal Aviation Administration likely would suspend flights during U.S. President Donald Trump’s June 14 Army anniversary parade.

“To accommodate aircraft flyovers along the parade route, followed by a fireworks display, the Federal Aviation Administration is expected to suspend airline operations at DCA – affecting scheduled flights,” a notice on the airport website said.

The airport, located less than two miles from the National Mall, could shut down for up to four hours, the Washington Post reported.

The long-planned celebration for the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary will coincide with the president’s 79th birthday.

Sixty-seven people were killed in January when a helicopter and an American Airlines regional jet collided, crashing into the Potomac River. It was the deadliest U.S. air disaster in more than 20 years.
