Mobile Lounge
An original Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) Mobile Lounge in 1965. The Mobile Lounges were designed by Chrysler specifically for use at Washington Dulles International Airport. They were intended to take passengers from the Main Terminal to aircraft parked at the midfield service area. The idea was that aircraft would park near the runway and save taxiing fuel and passengers would avoid walking down long terminal concourses. In this era, airline timetables noted that departure times at Dulles were Mobile Lounge departure times.
The concept was superseded by the construction of the Midfield Terminals.
