The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as owner and operator of the Metropolitan Washington Airports, Washington National and Dulles International, is issuing a policy statement of guide development and operation of these facilities into the 1990's. The FAA's Metropolitan Washington Airport policy establishes a balance between a complex set of criteria which reflect transportation service, investment requirements, and environmental impacts. This report presents the results of an analysis of the impact of policy alternatives on capital investment requirements for the Metropolitan Washington Airports. A description of the range of policy options considered is contained in the introduction. The FAA is recommending limiting air carrier aircraft operations at National Airport to 40 per hour, and furthermore, authorizing wide body aircraft at National, with the understanding that wide body service there would average four departures per hour by 1990. Estimated investments at National and Dulles required to support the recommended policy total approximately $119 million in 1976 dollars. Given the uncertainties of investment forecasting, however, there are no significant differences in investment requirements among the policy alternatives evaluated.
