Order Granting and Denying Applications for Slot Exemptions at New York's LaGuardia Airport

High Density Rule, New York LaGuardia

After careful consideration of these applications for exemptions from 14 C.F.R. Part 93, Subparts K and S. for slots at New York's LaGuardia Airport, the Department has decided to grant two slot exemptions to Pro Air, Inc. for nonstop service in the Detroit City Airport-LaGuardia market and two slot exemptions to Spirit Airlines, Inc. for nonstop service in the Myrtle Beach-LaGuardia market. We find that granting these exemptions is in the public interest and meets the statutory "exceptional circumstances" test. Grant of these exemptions is conditioned on their being used solely for nonstop service in the city-pair markets designated in the carriers' applications.
