Order 2003-10-21 - Reagan Washington National Slots - Extablishment of Slot Proceeding
|
Special Rules for Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport Order 03-10-21 Issued and Served October 17, 2003 By this order, the Department permits US Airways, Inc., to operate services authorized by Department Order 2003-7-5, at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport until February 1, 2004, or such time as the Department reallocates the slot exemption authority originally granted to Corporate Airlines by Department Order 2003-1-16 pursuant to the provisions of the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR-21). We also note that Congress is now considering authorizing additional DCA slot exemptions for distribution to qualified air carriers for services to eligible communities under the pending Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization act. Should this legislation be enacted into law in the near future, the Department would move expeditiously to distribute any newly available slot exemption authority in accordance with statutory criteria and may consolidate into a single proceeding the available permanent slot exemption authority currently operated in the DCA-Wilmington market on a temporary basis.
