Delta Wins LaGuardia Growth Bid as U.S. Backs Flight-Slot Trade - Businessweek Delta Wins LaGuardia Growth Bid as U.S. Backs Flight-Slot Trade October 11, 2011, 5:05 PM EDT Oct. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Delta Air Lines Inc. won federal regulators’ approval to build a domestic hub at New York’s LaGuardia airport by trading takeoff and landing slots with US Airways Group Inc. The accord gives Delta 132 more LaGuardia slot pairs and control of about half the flights there, in exchange for swapping 42 of its pairs at Washington’s Ronald Reagan National Airport with US Airways, the U.S. Department of Transportation said today in a filing. The carriers must divest 24 pairs to smaller rivals, 16 at LaGuardia and eight at National. Delta’s advantage at LaGuardia over AMR Corp.’s American Airlines, the second-biggest carrier there, will grow as it takes over most of the US Airways terminal space. Creating a domestic hub at LaGuardia will complement Atlanta-based Delta’s international hub at Kennedy airport. Just in time for the next AE. Beefed up NYCM88 and 320 base coming to NYC? |

What about a A320... wait for it... BOS base?
|
Also looks like no additional slot divestures are required. That's nice.

Now you're just being mean & teasing people. :D
It'd make sense though. I mean how is it any harder than any other station? |

"Separately, the U.S. Justice Department will continue an antitrust investigation of US Airways’ acquisition of the Washington slots from Delta, according to an e-mailed statement today from the agency."
So how does this work now? Will USAir divest the slots to DAL at LGA and wait for the Justice review's outcome or do they hold them and wait for the outcome? |
