Dulles Airport


When they are tracking the airplane, the scope shows a destination of KDIA. The identifier for Dulles is KIAD; there is no airport with an identifier of KDIA.

There is also no "Runway 1L North" - at Dulles, or any other airport.

It doesn't always have to reflect real life 100 per cent.

You're talking about closing down one of the biggest international airports in the capital to shoot a few scenes! Why can't people just come to terms with the reality that the desired location isn't always possible?

Ummmm. who's talking about closing down an airport????

Ummmm, I am! I meant 'you're' in a universal not personal context. You were moaning about the inaccuracy of the location. I explained that if the scenes were to be authentic they would have had to close down parts of Dulles and applied for all sorts of permits and security clearances for extended periods of time. Since this was not possible they were forced to use a more convenient location, take some dramatic license and call it Dulles. I was pointing out that people like you should try thinking outside the box before making pedantic, nonsense comments in an effort to show the world what keen observationists they are.

It's an action movie, not a documentary on airports and their layouts.🐭
