JetBlue Airways won an auction for takeoff and landing slots at New York's LaGuardia airport being sold by Spirit Airlines as part of its bankruptcy process, with a bid of $58 million that edged out a $57.5 million offer from Frontier Airlines. The acquired slots will give JetBlue the option for 12 additional round-trip flights at the airport, though any expansion is expected from 2027 onward pending court and regulatory approvals. JetBlue currently holds 31 slots at LaGuardia, ranking sixth behind Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, and Air Canada. The airline is also reportedly considering a move to LaGuardia's Terminal A.
