WASHINGTON, March 3 (Reuters) - A group representing

U.S. airlines wants a series of safety changes after a fatal

collision between an Army helicopter and American Airlines ( AAL )

regional jet killed 67 people in January near Washington's

Reagan National Airport.

Airlines for America, which represents American,

Delta Air Lines ( DAL ), United Airlines, Southwest

Airlines ( LUV ) and others, will call for permanently

suspending some routes near Reagan with limited exceptions for

essential military or medical emergencies, according to written

testimony for a U.S. House hearing Tuesday seen by Reuters.

Most helicopters have been temporarily barred near the

airport since the fatal incident pending a preliminary report

due out this month. The group also wants military aircraft to be

required to use a key safety system known as ADS-B near large

airports.
