Reagan Airport closed until Friday after plane, Black Hawk helicopter crash near DC
The Federal Airline Administration announced late Wednesday night that Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport will be closed until at least 5 a.m. ET Friday after a passenger jet collided with a military Black Hawk helicopter above the airport.
The airport is listed as closed on the National Airspace System Status website, which also lists a ground stop for the airport continuing until at least 5 a.m. ET Thursday.
American Airlines flight 5342 from Wichita, Kansas, operated by PSA Airlines was preparing to land at the airport before it "collided in midair" with the Army helicopter around 9 p.m. ET, authorities said.
The flight had 64 people on board, and the military helicopter, which was on a training mission, had three soldiers on board, according to FOX News and POLITICO.
A joint statement by the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and DC Fire and EMS released shortly before 11 p.m. ET said that "there is no confirmed information on casualties at this time." A press conference is scheduled for 12:30 a.m. ET.
