Airport Board Puts Dulles Subway on Hold; Too Few Passengers a Concern, Members Say
1995
Overview
A plan to begin building a subway line to replace the mobile lounges at Dulles International Airport has been shelved by the airport board because members are worried there may not be enough passengers at the end of the decade to pay for it. The go-slow approach reflects a change in the board's leadership and makeup since last fall, when the board endorsed a plan to build the first leg of the subway line by 1999. More than former airport boards, the new 11-member board, led by Chairman Robert F. Tardio, of Potomac, is aggressively questioning assumptions about planned expansion at Dulles. Dulles is Washington's growth airport, while National Airport is limited to 44 gates serving short-haul flights. The expansion of Dulles now underway calls for a main terminal twice its current size linked to a series of midfield terminals by an underground \"people-mover\" system. The first leg of the subway was to be built between the main terminal and a new midfield terminal, of which the first 12 gates are scheduled to be completed in two years.
