Washington DC airport says flights to be suspended during Trump's Army parade
Jun 5, 2025 12:51 PM

WASHINGTON, June 5 (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 ( AAL ) regional jet

collided, crashing into the Potomac River. It was the deadliest

U.S. air disaster in more than 20 years.
