Washington airports likely closed all day

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A spokeswoman for the agency that runs both Reagan National Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport said no scheduled flights are likely Wednesday, even if the Federal Aviation Administration lifts a national airspace lockdown.

Tara Hamilton, spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, told CNN they are "not anticipating any scheduled flights today."

Dulles was the originating airport for American Airlines Flight 77 to Los Angeles. The 757 with 64 people on board was hijacked and crashed a short distance away at the Pentagon.

Wednesday, under restricted access, only the airport's baggage claim area will be opened.

Officials have said passengers will be able to retrieve luggage left behind when the airport was evacuated and closed Tuesday at about 3 p.m. EDT.
