Private Charter Services

PASSENGERS: All charter pick-ups shall be done on the Arrivals (Baggage Claim) level. Please ensure your group is assembled and all luggage is collected before coordinating with your bus provider to ensure timely pick-up.

BUS PROVIDERS: Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport welcomes all charter bus services without a permit. The Airport asks that any bus company with a scheduled pick-up fill out the Charter Bus Form at least 24 hours before a planned trip. This information is essential for Airport staff to provide timely communication with companies utilizing our curbs and roadways, especially during heavy congestion or emergencies.  

All pick-ups will be done on Arrivals (Baggage Claim) Level on the outer roadway. Buses may NOT be left unattended on the curb at any time; Public Safety will ticket any violators.   

BUS STAGING LOCATION: ** UPDATED** Effective October 2026 - Due to ongoing construction and roadway impacts, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport does NOT have a dedicated staging location on Airport. We ask all operators to stay in contact with your passengers and schedule arrival to the curb once all passengers are ready to pick up.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact Airport Operations at 703-417-8050 or Public Safety non-emergency at 703-572-2400.
