Washington Dulles
🇺🇸 Washington · KIAD
United's DC international gateway featuring Eero Saarinen's iconic curved terminal. The four runways handle heavy international traffic from Turkish, Emirates, and Ethiopian. Pilots navigate special security procedures for the DC area and complex arrival flows. The airport's distance from downtown means less traffic than DCA but more room for efficient operations.
