Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority
Welcome to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), a dynamic public entity established with the blessing of the United States Congress and regional legislative bodies. Since our inception through the District of Columbia Regional Airports Authority Act of 1985 and subsequent amendments, MWAA has been steadfast in its commitment to orchestrating seamless access to the global aviation network for the National Capital area.
At MWAA, our mission is clear: to cultivate, promote, and operate Reagan National and Dulles International airports with an unwavering dedication to safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Through meticulous planning and proactive management, we continually enhance the quality and breadth of air services available at these vital hubs. Our aspiration is not merely to meet industry standards but to exceed them, positioning Reagan National and Dulles as paragons of excellence in airport management across the United States.
Central to our operational framework is a robust governance structure overseen by a distinguished 17-member Board of Directors. Tasked with setting policy and providing strategic guidance, this esteemed body ensures that MWAA remains at the forefront of innovation and best practices in airport management. Comprising appointees from the Governors of Virginia and Maryland, the Mayor of Washington, D.C., and the President of the United States, our Board reflects a diversity of perspectives and expertise essential to steering MWAA toward its overarching goals.
