Air Freight
Context: While most freight moves via IAD, belly cargo on passenger flights at DCA supports time‑sensitive shipments for the core D.C. market. Shippers needing integrator or widebody options should compare routings at IAD or BWI.
DCA is primarily a passenger airport with limited all‑cargo operations due to slot and perimeter rules. Most cargo for the region flows via Washington Dulles (IAD). For traffic statistics, see the MWAA reports.
