Washington Manassas Airport cleared to offer commercial airline flights
By Mike Murillo
Washington Manassas Airport, formerly known as Manassas Regional Airport, has taken a big step toward its goal of offering passenger service.
The airport, which is owned by the city of Manassas, Virginia, received its FAA Part 139 Airport Operating Certificate, a designation required before commercial airlines can begin service.
During a ceremony Monday, FAA Associate Administrator Dan Edwards presented a framed version of the certificate to airport leaders.
Edwards said it's "extremely rare" for an existing airport that caters to private flights to clear this hurdle.
