"While JetBlue Airways Corp. notes in comments filed with the U.S. Department of Transportation that the agency should award slot exemptions to underserved communities, it suggests that the Alamo City isn’t one of them.
JetBlue officials contend that because Southwest Airlines currently offers a roundtrip flight from Austin to Washington National San Antonio doesn’t warrant one of the D.C. slots.
“The catchment area for Southwest’s Austin DCA flight in fact includes San Antonio,” JetBlue officials note in their comments to the DOT, adding that “people in San Antonio can drive to Austin for the existing non-stop service to DCA.” "
