Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority

Commercial Photography/ Filming Procedures


Due to increasing demand for the use of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (the Authority) facilities as a location or background for commercial photography or video, motion picture, and television filming, the Authority has established fees for these activities to recover associated costs. The Authority has established policies related to insurance, “hold harmless” agreements, and security that are a prerequisite for obtaining permission for filming and photography activities.
