JetBlue wins auction for Spirit's LaGuardia flight slots

By AvTLDR Editorial Desk

JetBlue has secured Spirit Airlines' takeoff and landing slots at New York's LaGuardia Airport for $58.5 million.

TL;DR

JetBlue outbid Frontier Airlines in a bankruptcy auction to acquire 12 daily departure and 10 arrival slots, with plans to potentially add 12 round-trip flights in 2027. The acquisition allows JetBlue to expand its footprint at a highly regulated and capacity-constrained airport following the collapse of Spirit Airlines.
