2014-12-16 17:40:24| Airlines - Topix.net
The U.S. Department of Transportation has ruled that Southwest Airlines may keep flying the route between Kansas City and Washington Reagan National Airport that it received on a temporary basis since Feb. 1. The pair of slots for one takeoff and one landing at the restricted Washington airport became available when Republic Airways informed the DOT on Jan. 24 that its Frontier Airlines unit would drop the KC-DC route. On an emergency basis, DOT gave the slots to Southwest to keep flying the route, and launched a proceeding to decide how best to use the slots at Washington Reagan.
