4 Airlines Given New Flights to Colombia

Wednesday March 5, 5:00 pm ET
Transportation Dept. Awards Delta, JetBlue, Spirit, Continental Flights to Bogota, Colombia


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Delta, JetBlue, Spirit and Continental Airlines have been granted preliminary approval to operate one new daily flight each between the U.S. and Bogota, Colombia.
The Transportation Department said Wednesday it selected those four airlines over US Airways Group, which had applied for service from Charlotte, N.C., and AMR Corp.'s American Airlines, which sought to retain a flight it currently holds for additional service between Miami and Bogota.

The proposal would reallocate one daily U.S.-Colombia flight currently held by American, and have the 21 new weekly flights be phased-in by the end of the year. Three of the new daily flights were made available by a September aviation agreement that increased to 91 from 70 the number of weekly flights U.S. carriers may operate between the two countries.

Delta Air Lines' flight will depart from New York's John F. Kennedy
