The U.S. Transportation Department on Thursday proposed awarding 24 slot pairs at Mexico City’s Benito Juarez International Airport to Alaska Airlines, JetBlue Airways Corp (JBLU.O), Southwest Airlines Co (LUV.N), Volaris and Grupo Viva Aerobus SAB de CV.
The tentative Mexico City allocations will result in new or additional low-fare service to 15 U.S. cities, including Chicago O’Hare, Denver, Houston Hobby, Los Angeles, New York-JFK, San Diego, San Francisco and Washington-Dulles. Slot pairs are landing and takeoff slots between two cities.
The department also proposed awarding four slot pairs at New York . . .
