The U.S. Transportation Security Administration recently granted Ross Aviation’s FBO in Long Beach, California (KLGB), clearance for the DCA Access Standard Security Program that permits direct flights into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA). The DCA Gateway approval allows flights from Long Beach to file flight plans directly into what is the most convenient airport for accessing the U.S. capital.

“The designation is a testament to our focus on exceptional safety standards,” said Ross Aviation LGB general manager Greg McQueary. “We are pleased that our customers to LGB will be further served by the ability to fly directly from our location to DCA. It’s certainly an added convenience for which our team has worked diligently.”

Ross Aviation operates six FBOs around the U.S. The other locations are Anchorage, Alaska; Scottsdale, Arizona; White Plains, New York; and Fresno and Thermal, California.
