TSA Approves ExcelAire's Private Jet Terminal as New Gateway to Washington Reagan Airport
| Source: ExcelAire
RONKONKOMA, NY--(Marketwire - May 28, 2008) - ExcelAire (www.excelaire.com) today
announced that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) approved
its new private jet terminal at Long Island's MacArthur Airport as a
departure point for travel to Washington Reagan Airport (DCA), making it
one of only 21 gateway airports approved for travel into the nation's
capitol.
The approval came after ExcelAire passed rigorous TSA security checks and
implemented special security procedures for trips to Reagan Airport.
Flights into DCA require unique, comprehensive security measures. After
Sept. 11, 2001, the government banned all private flights into the airport
due to security concerns. Limited flights to Reagan resumed in 2005, via a
select group of approved gateway airports and approved private jet
operators.
ExcelAire has been flying its charter jets into Reagan Airport for more
than two years, after passing the TSA's intensive approval process for
charter flights.
"The convenience of Reagan Airport is second to none," said David Rimmer,
Executive Vice President of ExcelAire. "It offers easy and quick access to
Washington, DC and surrounding areas for our clients that are meeting with
government officials and conducting business in our nation's Capitol."
Rimmer added, "Now ExcelAire offers unprecedented access to Reagan Airport
via our private jet terminal and our private jet charter services."
