Military parade could disrupt flights at D.C.'s Reagan National Airport
Read Original Source
Commercial airlines are preemptively canceling flights at Reagan National Airport ahead of a military parade scheduled for June 14 in Washington, D.C. The flight cancellations come as the airport warns that the Army's 250th Anniversary Celebration could disrupt passengers' travel plans. JetBlue on Wednesday said it was taking steps to "help avoid operational delays" by canceling one scheduled roundtrip flight from Reagan National.
