With Dulles being less than 30 miles from Ronald Reagan, why aren't all of the "commercial" flights limited to that airport?
Most capital cities now have a high speed rail connection between the city center and the nearest major airport.

LaGuardia & Kennedy are only 8 miles apart and they're both busier than Reagan. People don't realize how many airports are out there and how close they are.
When I took off from my home base airport, when I was at 6B6, if I climbed to 10,000 feet (2 miles) and lost an engine, there were at least 8-10 airports I could glide to.
