The Trump administration is holding talks to reach agreement on a massive, multi-billion dollar rebuild of Washington Dulles International Airport, an official said.
Deputy Transportation Secretary Steve Bradbury said at an industry forum there are ongoing discussions between the department and the authority that runs the airport to find a way forward. President Donald Trump held a Feb. 25 meeting on Dulles's future that included United Airlines (UAL.O), CEO Scott Kirby, whose company handles nearly 70% of the traffic at Dulles, sources said.
"Those discussions are continuing," Bradbury said. "We're very optimistic that we've got some momentum and excitement building and big things will be happening on a faster pace."
