JetBlue JBLU.O said in a statement Friday that it had asked the U.S. government to take countermeasures after being denied landing slots at the Netherlands’ Schiphol Airport.
The move follows a decision this week by the slot coordinator at Schiphol to eliminate slots for summer 2024, granting none to new arrivals, including JetBlue.
JetBlue said industry group Airlines for America (A4A) has asked the U.S. Department of Transportation to delay the granting of a U.S. air carrier permit application by German carrier USC GmbH until the issue is resolved. .
Separately, the company sent Reuters a copy of a letter from the U.S. Department of Transportation dated November 2 indicating that the department had approved two complaints filed by JetBlue and A4A against the Netherlands and the European Union under of this dispute.
