Delta, US Airways LaGuardia Slot Talks Moving at ‘Slow Pace’

Delta Air Lines Inc.’s talks with US Airways Group Inc. over a proposed trade of takeoff and landing slots in New York and Washington are moving slowly because of regulatory concerns, an executive said today.

“There are some issues that have been flagged by the government,” Perry Cantarutti, Delta’s senior vice president for Europe, Middle East and Africa, said at a briefing in London today. “It’s moving at a fairly slow pace.”
