Order 00-10-32

America West Airlines, Inc.

By this order the Department is granting the request of America West Airlines, Inc. (America West) to move the operation of a slot at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (Reagan National or DCA) from the 0700 hour (7:00 a.m.) to the 1000 hour (10:00 a.m.).  On October 16, 2000, America West filed an application for an exemption to slide one existing 0700 hour (7:00 a.m.) Reagan National slot to the 1000 hour (10:00 a.m.) in order to permit it to continue to offer its full service offering of three roundtrips per day in the Columbus, OH-Reagan National market. America West states that previously it has been able to provide this level of service based on a slot trade arrangement with American Airlines, but that in September, American had notified America West that it would no longer be leasing the requisite DCA slot to America West. Since then, American and America West have reached an alternative arrangement in which American would lease a 0700 slot to America West. However, to support continuation of its three daily round trip Columbus service, America West states that it requires a 1000 hour slot and thus has filed its application. America West states that since its current slot agreement with American expires on October 28, 2000, it requests that the slot slide should be made effective on October 29, 2000
