For Immediate Release:  August 15, 2007

BWI RANKED AMONG BEST AMERICAN AIRPORTS FOR ACCESS AND EFFICIENCY
Aviation.com ranks BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport In Top 10 of 'Easiest' U.S. Airports To Get To

Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is showcased in a new list of the "Top Ten Easiest U.S. Airports To Get To" by Aviation.com.  The website, created for business travelers, industry analysts, and aviation enthusiasts, ranked BWI the tenth easiest U.S. airport for access.  Aviation.com says that BWI is among those U.S. airports that make it, "easy to skip cab lines, traffic, and high fares."

Transit access to and from BWI was highlighted in the website's study.  "Travel to Washington and Baltimore is available from Amtrak and MARC," according to Aviation.com.  "A light rail station provides additional access to Baltimore and the surrounding suburbs." 

BWI is one of the only U.S. airports to have an on-airport rail station.  Beyond easy and efficient rail access to both Washington and Baltimore, the BWI Express / B-30 Metrobus is the direct link from Washington's Metro system to BWI.  This service runs every 40 minutes, seven days a week, between BWI and the Metro's Greenbelt station on the Green Line. 

"BWI works very hard to provide a pleasant and efficient travel experience for our customers," said Timothy L. Campbell, A.A.E., Executive Director of the Maryland Aviation Administration.  "Easy access to the Airport by roadway and transit is an important factor for our travelers.  BWI has a longstanding reputation as the region's 'easy come, easy go' airport."

The entire list is available at http://www.aviation.com/top10_best_transport-1.html.
