US Airways got more access to Washington's Reagan National Airport and Delta got more slots at New York LaGuardia in a swap of takeoff-and-landing slots the two airlines announced today. The most interesting aspect of US Airways' announcement, however, was what else comes with the deal: The potential to start flights to Tokyo and Sao Paulo, Brazil, where the airline doesn't have service now.
The Toyko flights, flying from the Phoenix hub, would not take off until at least 2012, and require some regulatory approval, the airline said. Tokyo from PHL? Perhaps that will come later. US Airways said it will use the Sao Paulo rights next year from Charlotte, where it starts service to Rio de Janiero this December.
