SOURCES OF GROWTH
Supplemental service with major partnerNew city pairsIncreased service to existing markets
(increased frequency/larger aircraft)Route transfers from major partners30 - 50 seat regional aircraft (jets and
turboprops) may be exempt from slot restrictions for service to cities with fewer than 2 million annual enplanements (FAA Reauthorization legislation)
