Delta Air Lines was one of the key recent beneficiaries of the US Department of Transportation’s release of slots for beyond-perimeter flights at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). With the DOT’s approval, five new daily round trips have been permitted to serve the facility from destinations further afield than the usual perimeter of 1,250 miles, with Delta Air Lines choosing to serve Seattle.
