The U.S. Department of Transportation has approved the establishment of domestic routes for five carriers operating to and from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
The routes are for Alaska Airlines to San Diego, American Airlines to San Antonio, Delta Air Lines to Seattle, Southwest Airlines to Las Vegas, and United Airlines to San Francisco.
This approval comes as five new slots become available at Washington’s Reagan National Airport. Previously, slots were allocated primarily for routes under 1,250 miles, with some exceptions. Flights for greater distances operated from other Washington airports. The new slots will be utilized for routes exceeding 1,250 miles.
Alaska Airlines and Southwest Airlines will operate using either Boeing 737-800 or Boeing 737-8 aircraft. American Airlines will use the Airbus A321, Delta Air Lines the Airbus A321neo, and United Airlines will operate with Boeing 737-8 aircraft.
Applications from Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airways, and Spirit Airlines were not allocated slots.
