show a significant spread of the traffic between them.  On the basis of 1965 enplanements, the breakdown for Baltimore-Washington was National, 72 percent; Friendship, 19 percent; and Dulles, 9 percent.  In New York the distribution was Kennedy, 52 percent; LaGuardia, 24 percent; and Newark, 24 percent.  Detroit showed a division of 69 percent at Metropolitan and 31 percent at Willow Run.  Between the San Francisco and Oakland Airports, the distribution was 94 percent and 6 percent; and between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, it was 96 percent and 4 percent.   In all of the others where there was some contribution by a second airport, the dominant landing point showed 99 percent, examples being O'Hare at Chicago, Los Angeles International at Los Angeles, and Love Field at Dallas/Fort Worth.

Relative Location and Use of the Airports.  National and Dulles serve the Washington traffic primarily, and Friendship does the same for Baltimore.  There is, however, a significant amount of cross-use, especially with respect to Friendship serving the Washington traffic and in lesser degree with respect to National serving the Baltimore passengers.  Dulles is almost entirely a Washington airport, although there is an indication of some use by Baltimore passengers.
 
National is ideally located with respect to Washington from a time and distance standpoint with the limousine and taxi time to and from the city center being 15 minutes for the 4-mile ride.  Friendship is in a similar location with respect to Baltimore, 11 miles from the city center and 20 minutes by limousine or taxi.  The use of Friendship by the downtown Washington passengers requires a 50-minute taxi
