Notice is hereby given that the METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON AIRPORTS AUTHORITY (“Airports Authority”) will conduct a public hearing on April 25, 2022, starting at 4:00 p.m. The subject of the hearing will be the issuance by the Airports Authority of tax-exempt revenue bonds, refunding bonds and other Airports Authority obligations (collectively, “Bonds”), pursuant to an Airports Authority plan of financing of “airport facilities” (as that term is defined in 26 U.S.C. §142(a)(1)) which are owned and operated or to be owned and operated by the Airports Authority at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (“Reagan National”), 2401 Smith Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22202, and Washington Dulles International Airport (“Dulles International”), 1 Saarinen Circle, Dulles, Virginia 20166. This public hearing is being held pursuant to the federal Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 and 26 U.S.C. §147(f).

PLAN OF FINANCING FOR AIRPORT FACILITIES

The Airports Authority plan of financing provides for the issuance of Bonds in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $1,726,000,000 for airport facilities located at Reagan National and Bonds in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,141,000,000 for airport facilities located at Dulles International (collectively, “Maximum Bond Amounts”).

The Airports Authority presently anticipates funding the airport facilities at Reagan National and Dulles International through a combination of Airports Authority funds, Bond proceeds, the proceeds of bond anticipation notes, revolving line of credit notes, and short-term commercial paper, federal grants, passenger facility charges, and the investment earnings on the proceeds of all such financing vehicles.

As part of its plan of financing, the Airports Authority expects to issue, at different times, revenue Bonds or refunding Bonds in several series of different amounts (the aggregate principal amount thereof not to exceed the Maximum Bond Amounts), with the timing, amounts and number of Bond issues depending upon the needs for funds and market conditions. As required by law, these Bonds will not pledge the credit of the Commonwealth of Virginia or any political subdivision thereof, or of the District of Columbia, but will be payable solely from revenues of the Airports Authority derived from its operation of Reagan National and Dulles International.
