The US DoT has tentatively awarded Mexico City International slot-pairs to Alaska Airlines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines, as well as Mexican LCCs Volaris, VivaAerobus and Interjet. Mexican govt approval is still required before scheduling and tickets sales can commence. Flights are expected to begin by summer 2017. The slots became available Jan. 6 following Aeromexico and Delta Air Line’s acceptance of regulatory conditions required by DoT before the 2 airlines could start a transborder joint venture. The airlines were initially required to give up 14 slot pairs in Mexico City and 2 in New York as part of Phase 1 of the slot awarding process. In Phase 2, 10 remaining slots in Mexico and 2 in New York are required to be transferred before summer 2018. <br/>
