Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority : Contracting Practices Do Not Always Comply with Airport Lease Requirements

The Metropolitan Wash. Airports Act of 1986 provided for the lease of Wash. Dulles International Airport & Ronald Reagan Wash. Nat. Airport & the transfer of operating responsibility from the federal government to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. The Authority is an independent, nonfederal, public entity that has operated the government-owned airports since June 7, 1987, under a 50-year lease with the Dept. of Transportation. To carry out its mandate, the Authority enters into a wide range of contractual relationships to acquire supplies & construction & other services. This report provides a current assessment of whether the Authority has satisfied its contracting obligations under the statutory lease provision.
