WHEATON, Md. — Three years ago, the large squat building at the entrance to suburban Westfield Wheaton Mall housed a Circuit City. These days, the big-box retailer is long gone — a victim of bankruptcy and hard times — and has been replaced by the Washington, D.C., area’s first fully bilingual private institution of higher learning.
JetBlue Airways, Puerto Rico's largest carrier, was granted Monday a “beyond-perimeter” slot exemption from the U.S. Department of Transportation, which will enable it to launch new nonstop "capital-to-capital" service from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport. The carrier expects to start service in the fall.
JetBlue’s bid to launch a nonstop route connecting the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport with the Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C. is being backed by the Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration, which through an email outreach campaign is urging frequent flyers to voice their support of the carrier’s plan.
