DC's Reagan Airport temporarily closing on July 4

DC's Reagan Airport temporarily closing on July 4 will affect operations at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C., due to America 250 celebrations. The airport will be temporarily closed on July 4, with no flights scheduled to arrive or depart from noon to 11:59 p.m. ET. The article also reports that flights were suspended on July 3 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. for aerial rehearsals. Officials said the terminal and parking will remain accessible during the closure period. Airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration said they planned months in advance to adjust schedules and reduce disruption to travelers. The notice underscores the temporary nature of the suspension tied to scheduled commemorative events rather than ongoing infrastructure constraints.
