FAA to halt flights at major D.C. airport ahead of IndyCar race

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will close the airspace above Reagan National Airport (DCA) from 10:15am EST to 1:15pm EST on August 23 in order to "help ensure the safe and efficient movement of air traffic” during the IndyCar race in Washington D.C. later this month. This is not an unusual move from the FAA

The Federal Aviation Administration has announced that it plans to pause flights at Reagan National Airport for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix.
