Washington National set to open first piece of US$1b expansion
American Airlines will begin using the first part of what will become a new regional concourse at Ronald Reagan Washington National later this month. The first section of aircraft apron - the pavement that will one day serve the new concourse's northern side - with up to 12 regional aircraft parking positions is due to open during the week of April 22, airport operator the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority says. The ramp includes space for overnight aircraft parking. American, which operates a hub at Washington National, plans to take full advantage of Project Journey when work is complete. The carrier will shift flights operated by 50-seat regional jets to larger ones with up to 76 seats when the 14-gate concourse opens. The carrier is already flying more larger aircraft through Washington National. <br/>
