America’s
Capital
Region, encompassing all
or part of four states and
the District of Columbia,
is home to two great
cities, Washington and
Baltimore. At the heart of
this region rich in
high-income educated
professionals lies
Baltimore/Washington
International Airport,
known as BWI.
With three major
passenger airports
serving the region, BWI
is the clear leader in
passenger preference.
Last year, nearly 22.5
million passengers flew
through BWI, surpassing
both Dulles International
(IAD) and Reagan
National (DCA). BWI holds
a commanding share of
the market’s origin and
destination traffic and
is consistently ranked
as the top airport in the
entire Mid-Atlantic for
customer satisfaction.
Understanding this
vibrant and growing air
service market requires
an understanding of the

region’s geography. BWI
sits right at the
geographic center of
the market, located
between the two major
cities, which are both
east of the Potomac
River. The market’s other
international airport,
by contrast, lies west
of the Potomac River,
where a limited number
of bridge crossings can
make access difficult for
the far larger population
who live east of the river.
And unlike other
international airports
in the region, BWI
offers an airport train
station, which can whisk
travelers to downtown
D.C. and Baltimore in
fewer than 20 minutes,
and provide fast rail
service to Philadelphia
and New York.
With nearly 10 million
people located within a
90-minute drive of BWI,
the airport’s catchment
area encompasses the
nation’s 4th largest
metropolitan area and
its highest average
household income among
the largest metro regions
in the country. Residents
of the Capital Region have
the highest propensity
to travel of any metro
region in the country,
and international travel
is supported by a large
and wealthy foreign-
born population and by
the robust presence of
Fortune 1000 corporations
and Non-Governmental
Organizations.
With no barriers to new
service, BWI supports
more than 600 arrivals
and departures daily,
with nonstop service to
66 domestic destinations
and international
service to 8 countries.
Boasting the lowest
operating costs of the
region’s airports, BWI’s
cost-per-emplaned
passenger is less than
half of Dulles’. BWI’s
single terminal design
avoids the need for
costly services such as
mobile lounges and sky
trains. With a continuous
program of infrastructure
re-investment, BWI
delivers passenger-
pleasing convenience
and amenities. The
international concourse
offers travelers the
fastest customs clearance
of any airport in the
Capital Region.
With the advantage of a
geographic location at the
heart of America’s Capital
Region, superior rail and
highway access, and a
terminal experience that
makes passengers smile,
BWI continues to climb in
the rankings of America’s
top airports.
