Metropolitan Aviation, a Virginia-based private jet management and charter company, announced it is executing flights to and from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) in Washington, D.C.

"We're thrilled to offer DCA service to dignitaries, government officials and our internationally acclaimed clientele," said Alan Cook, CEO of Metropolitan Aviation. "It is our privilege to be counted among the select few operators granted this permission."

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) approved Metropolitan Aviation's access to Reagan National Airport as an authorized operator within the requirements of the DCA Access Standard Security Program (DASSP), which includes fingerprint-based background checks and TSA threat assessments of crewmembers and passengers, as well as carriage of an armed security officer. Developed in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, the DASSP recognizes the special security needs of Reagan National Airport.
