Air India, El Al and WestJet are all actively considering adding new service to the Washington DC region by 2018, as the local airport operator works to increase air service to the US capital.
Executives from each of the carriers have expressed interest in serving Washington DC in separate meetings with officials from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), which operates Ronald Reagan Washington National and Washington Dulles International airports, since June, an internal airline business development report for MWAA's board shows.
Air India is considering a new Delhi-Dulles nonstop, El Al a Tel Aviv-Dulles flight and WestJet service to one of the DC area’s three airports – Baltimore/Washington International, Dulles and National – from Toronto, it says.
Delhi and Tel Aviv would be new nonstop destinations from the Washington DC region, FlightGlobal schedules show. Toronto is the most competitive market with service on Air Canada to all three airports, and both Porter Airlines and United to Dulles.
Delhi-based Air India would like to launch a capital-to-capital route to Dulles from the spring of 2017, the Star Alliance carrier’s chairman Ashwani Lohani told MWAA officials at a meeting in September. However, he expressed concern with operating costs at the airport and asked about incentives, the report states.
