Reagan National (DCA)

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is the closest commercial airport to the U.S. Capitol, serving as a critical gateway for government officials, lobbyists, and Beltway business travelers. American Airlines operates its largest shuttle operation here, and slot controls keep capacity tight — meaning every concessions square foot works harder than at most peer airports. The compact terminal layout across Terminals B/C and National Hall creates high foot traffic density and strong capture rates. Phases 6 and 7 of the MWAA/Fraport concessions redevelopment are bringing 17+ new F&B units and 30,000+ SF of leasable space online through 2028, making this one of the most significant near-term concessions opportunities in the Mid-Atlantic.
