JetBlue Airways (B6, New York JFK) and Southwest Airlines (WN, Dallas Love Field) have had their bids for slots at Washington National provisionally accepted by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). These assets became available as a result of divestitures mandated by the DOJ in the American Airlines (AA, Dallas/Fort Worth) & US Airways (Phoenix Sky Harbor) merger. In a statement, jetBlue said that once the DoJ had given approval for its routes, it expects to add 12 new roundtrip flights out of the Washington airport. At present, jetBlue offers 18 daily flights to Boston, Fort Lauderdale International, Orlando International, Bermuda, Tampa International, as well as the airport's only nonstop service to San Juan Luis Muñoz Marin, Puerto Rico. With its new slots, JetBlue will operate up to 30 roundtrips per day at DCA. In addition to its successful bid, JetBlue and American have agreed to a permanent transfer to JetBlue of eight other DCA slot pairs owned by American, as required by the DOJ settlement conditions, that JetBlue has been operating on a temporary basis since 2010. In its statement, Southwest said its bid for 54 slots, allowing 27 additional daily flights, had been provisionally accepted. The additional slots will translate to an increase in Southwest's service at Reagan National from 17 daily departures to 44 daily departures. The carrier plans to announce destinations, schedules, and fares for the additional flights later this quarter and anticipates it will begin flying in the third quarter of 2014.
