Nye transcont fra Washington Reagan National DCA

[Someone]

Amerikanske myndigheter har delt ut ny slots til ruter utenfor 1.250 miles begrensningen som normalt gjelder for flyvninger fra DCA. Relativt jevnt fordelt, som om ikke alle fikk.

Southwest: Las Vegas
United: San Franciso
Alaska: San Diego
American: San Antonio
Delta: Seattle

JetBlue and Frontier accused the DOT of favoritism and skirting statutes, while Spirit hinted at possible litigation over the matter.

Spirit Airlines has gone to court, calling the way that the government awarded new ‘beyond perimeter’ slots at Washington National’s airport ‘bogus’ and demanding that their proposal to fly non-stop from the close-in D.C. to San Jose be reconsidered. And they’re absolutely right.
