Waltzing Matilda clients can arrive at Ronald Reagan
Waltzing Matilda Aviation can now operate into Washington DC's Ronald Reagan airport, increasing options for its customers. The company reported a strong showing in July and has seen an uptick in online demand.
WMA began private (Part 91) operations in June 2008 and has operated thousands of hours of safe and reliable flying.

Waltzing Matilda Aviation (WMA), a Boston, Massachusetts-based FAA Part 135 jet charter operator, has been granted TSA approval to operate its on-demand jet charter services into Washington DC's Ronald Reagan airport. The move is expected to lead to significant improvement in convenience for WMA's clients to the DC area, with the ability for future clients to avoid having to arrive at Washington Dulles airport. Given this select accessibility, WMA believes it will see a further uptick in its business to the DC area, a major destination for Boston-based business travellers.

Continuing its strong rebound from COVID-19, WMA additionally announced it saw a record level of flight activity in July 2020. CEO John Thomas says: “Our July charter revenues were over three times the level of July 2019, which has further cemented our position as the largest light to mid-sized aircraft jet charter operator based at Bedford. This increase has been partially fuelled by a strong resurgence in business-related travel.” WMA is also seeing greater use of its new online booking portal via its website.
