“In order to win approval from the Justice Department, US Airways and American agreed to sell 134 take off and landing slots at Washington’s Reagan National Airport, as well as 34 slots at at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Those slots basically translate to the ability to operate flights from those places. Late last week, the government gave Southwest Airlines and Virgin America permission to buy the LaGuardia slots. It will mark the first time Virgin America has operated from LaGuardia, where Southwest already has flights. After the merger, the airline will operate 44 fewer daily departures at Washington National and 12 fewer daily departures at LaGuardia.”
