The Federal Aviation Administration has imposed permanent restrictions on non-essential helicopter operations around the Washington, D.C., airport where an Army chopper collided with a commercial jet

The US Federal Aviation Administration detailed a series of restrictions on helicopter traffic near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport following a deadly midair collision in January.

It took the Trump administration six weeks, but, finally, the FAA has ordered the closure of the helicopter route that runs past Reagan National Airport.

Helicopters will be permanently restricted from flying near Washington, D.C.'s airport on the same route where a passenger jet and an Army helicopter collided in midair, killing 67 people, the Federal Aviation Administration said Friday.

Nonessential helicopter flights will be restricted in the airspace around Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and the simultaneous flying of choppers and airplanes around the airport won’t be allowed.
