A ‘slot’ is simply the permission of the airport operator for an airline to land a plane (and then take off – each slot is effectively a landing/take off pair). Gaining runway slots at Benito Juarez International Airport (MEX) is notoriously difficult and the slot coordinator there – AICM – has, in the carrier’s words, “summarily denied United’s slot requests.” But JetBlue has slots to spare in Mexico City.

Amado Nervo National Airport or Tepic Airport (IATA: TPQ, ICAO: MMEP) is an international airport located at Tepic and the main airport in the Mexican state of Nayarit. Operated by Aeropuertos y Servicios Auxiliares, a federal government-owned corporation, it was Transportes Aereos de Nayarit 's base before it ceased operations in 1999.
