JFK slots are scheduled to be completely phased out by Jan 1, 2007, IIRC, so those slots are of limited value.

I have never seen slot control procedures for JFK and HPN, which is why I question the accuracy of that section of the report.
Having been based in NY twice in my flying career...I know that both LGA and JFK have the slot program. (JFK might be only during the high travel times of the day) And as others have posted the Act signed in 2001 ( i think that was the year) removed the slots immediately from a couple of airports and phased them out in others... LGA technically still had slots but no limits if there was new entrant service or via new markets with RJ's....basically turned it into a CF with 1 hour+ Taxi IN times....so they reestablished the slots for all flights temporarily.... Yet another example of the right hand (Congress) demanding/implimenting without the left (FAA/local airports authority) knowing the effects of said changes... And HPN is not so much slot controlled via the FAA/DOT as it is from the local airport authority. DC |
