  On January 31, 2025, the FAA restricted helicopter flights near the airport. The FAA partially closed both the route that the Black Hawk was on when it collided with the CRJ700 and another route that runs south of the Key Bridge in Washington and connects the neighborhood of Georgetown to Rosslyn, Virginia. These routes, designated Route 4 and Route 1 respectively, remain open only to police, medical, air defense, and presidential transport flights. On the same day, American Airlines retired flight number 5342 and said that the new number for the Wichita to Washington National route would be Flight 5677.
  
  Separately, two staff members of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority were taken into custody on suspicion of providing CNN with surveillance footage of the crash.
  
  A vigil was held at the Wichita City Council chambers in memory of the victims. The loss of so many athletes was devastating for Wichita, which had fought to raise its prominence by improving passenger air service and seeking to host major sporting events.
