Dulles, United States

Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is a major international airport serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, located approximately 26 miles west of downtown Washington in Dulles, Virginia. It is owned and operated by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA). The airport is renowned for its striking terminal building designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen, completed in 1962 and considered a landmark of mid-20th century modernist architecture. Dulles serves as a primary hub for United Airlines and handles a significant volume of transatlantic and international traffic. In recent years, the airport has been connected to the Washington Metro rail network via the Silver Line extension, improving transit access to the region. Dulles handles tens of millions of passengers annually and supports numerous cargo operations alongside its passenger services.
