Dulles International is one of three major airports serving the Washington D.C. area (the other two being [[Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA/KDCA)]] and [[Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI/KBWI)]]).  It is by far the largest of the three, and serves as the main international gateway for the U.S. capital city.  The airport serves as an international hub for United, and, until the airline went out of business, also served as the hub for ill-fated Independence Air.  The airfield has three main runways: 1L/19R, 1R/19L, and 12/30.
