LEXINGTON, Ky. — Delta Air Lines is again offering its non-stop service between Blue Grass Airport (LEX) and Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA). Temporarily removed at the beginning of the global pandemic, this flight will be reinstated Sunday through Friday so that passengers can easily access the nation’s capital.
As a primary destination for many corporate travelers, this flight easily provides access to fly from Lexington in the morning, conduct business in D.C. and then be back home all in the same day.
In addition to the popularity with Lexington’s business travelers, this flight also provides a convenient means for families and couples to experience United States government and history through D.C.’s numerous sights and attractions. Located just five miles from Capitol Hill, Reagan National is a quick drive to the many federal buildings as well as monuments, memorials and Smithsonian museums.
“The return of Delta’s non-stop flight between Lexington and Washington, D.C. is an excellent sign of the aviation industry’s continuous recovery from the pandemic,” said Eric Frankl, executive director of Blue Grass Airport. “Travelers have been excited to take to the skies again and the airlines are gradually incorporating additional flights to accommodate traveler demand. We are grateful for the reinstatement of this flight to Washington, D.C., so Kentuckians can once again enjoy the convenience to the nation’s capital.”
