American Airlines launches nonstop service between LAX and Washington National Airport
	June 15, 2012 LOS ANGELES /PRNewswire/ -- American Airlines today launched new daily nonstop two-class Boeing 757 service between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). Stars of the CBS television show "NCIS" and the Disney Pixar film "Brave," along with World War II veterans, helped inaugurate the first flight from Los Angeles to Washington. "We are thrilled to begin nonstop service between Los Angeles and the Nation's Capital," said Will Ris, American's Senior Vice President – Government and Regulatory Affairs. "Reagan National's proximity to federal government offices, national monuments and popular tourist attractions will make American's new flight highly convenient for West Coast customers when flying for business or pleasure. Conversely, D.C.-area residents now have more travel options from both Reagan National and Washington Dulles International Airport to use when traveling to our nation's second-largest city. We thank members of Congress and President Obama for helping to make this flight possible by passing and signing legislation that eased flight restrictions at Reagan National." The new flight to Reagan National complements American's three existing daily round-trip flights between Washington Dulles International Airport and Southern California.
