WASHINGTON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - More than two dozen flights headed to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport were impacted on Friday by recent rules barring flights during presidential helicopter trips, flight tracking site Flightradar24 said.
After a January 29 collision between an Army helicopter and an American Airlines AAL.O regional jet killed 67 people, the Federal Aviation Administration adopted new rules effectively barring flights to the busy airport just outside the nation's capital when the Marine One helicopter is transporting the president. Flightradar24 said 10 flights on Friday night were diverted to other airports and more than a dozen others were held during a 38-minute period without arrival flights.
