The Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is part of a national alliance that wants Congress to amend the 'perimeter rule' at Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C.
More direct flights to DC from Austin, according to Rodriguez, will save time and money for their members.
"We look at this as an opportunity for accessibility and accessibility that's needed. We think that this is coming at an auspicious time, certainly when we also understand that the demographics of our state are changing," Rodriguez said. "As of this year, we now know that the Latino population is the largest population in the state, and we're very proud, of course, to advocate on behalf of that community, not just in Austin, but statewide.
Those who are opposed to amending the FAA rule claim it will increase congestion at Reagan National and cause delays there. Three airlines provide nonstop flights from Austin to Dulles International, which is located west of DC. There are also direct flights from Austin to Baltimore.that I have read and agree
