Reagan National flights resuming after tower fire alarm

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport resumed flights on Monday after stopping them earlier in the day after an air traffic control fire alarm went off. In an earlier statement on Monday, obtained by The Hill's sister network NewsNation, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said that the agency was 'pausing flights heading to Reagan Washington National Airport due to a fire alarm in the air traffic control tower.' The FAA said in a later statement to NewsNation that it was 'slowing flights into Reagan Washington National airport due to volume after inbound flights were paused because a fire alarm was activated in the air traffic control tower.' 'The tower is back to being fully operational,' the agency added. According to the flight tracking website FlightAware, 173 flights headed to National Airport were delayed Monday. Earlier this year, National Airport experienced a tragedy when an American Airlines flight and an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided near the airport, leaving no survivors. In the following months, a number of notable aviation incidents also raised questions about flight safety in the U.S.

Flights stopped at Reagan airport in DC area because of a fire alarm in the control tower

All flights in and out of Reagan National Airport in the Washington, D.C., area came to a halt Monday morning because of a fire alarm in the control tower. The Federal Aviation Administration said the order to stop all flights went out just before 10:45 a.m. and was slated to remain in effect until noon. The FAA statement did not say whether any fire was found in the tower — just that all flights heading into the airport were paused 'due to a fire alarm in the air traffic control tower.' Reagan airport was the site of the nation's deadliest plane crash since 2001 when an Army helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet in the skies over the capital and killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft. That crash, combined with a series of other crashes and close calls since then, have stoked fears about the safety of air travel. Josh Funk, The Associated Press Sign in to access your portfolio
