The Department of Justice reached a settlement on November 12, 2013, requiring the merged airline to give up landing slots or gates in 7 major airports. Under the deal, the new American was required to sell 104 slots at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and 34 slots at LaGuardia Airport. It was also required to sell gates at O'Hare International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, Logan International Airport, Dallas Love Field and Miami International Airport. Some of the slots were expected to be sold to low-cost carriers such as JetBlue and Southwest Airlines.
