The airfield at National Airport reopened for flight operations as of 11 a.m. this morning, according to a message on its web site.

Passengers are urged to contact their airlines to confirm their flights before heading to the airport. And that assumes most people can actually get to the airport in the first place. The Metrorail system remained underground-only Thursday, and many streets have yet to be cleared.

Dulles and BWI reopened earlier this morning, though many airlines have yet to resume flight schedules.
