Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Retirement Plan was established in 1989. John E. Potter serves as President and CEO. The plan provides retirement benefits to employees of the authority that operates two major airports and the Dulles Toll Road. The plan holds a 3.91 percent allocation to private equity. Its broader portfolio supports the authority's direct ownership of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport, and the Dulles Toll Road. The authority also participates in the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Silver Line Extension project alongside the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. The plan reports $383 million in assets. It maintains relationships with service providers including BNY Mellon as custodian and MissionSquare Retirement as investment advisor. The authority maintains a philanthropic initiative called MWAA in Your Community focused on regional economic development. The plan operates as a public pension vehicle tied directly to the operations of a multi-airport authority rather than as an independent investment manager. Governance flows through the authority's board chaired by Mark Uncapher.
