On August 12, 2009, [[Delta Air Lines]] and [[US Airways]] announced a [[landing slot]] and terminal swap in separate press releases. Under the swap plan, US Airways would have given Delta 125 operating slot pairs at LaGuardia. US Airways, in return, would have received 42 operating slot pairs at [[Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport]] in [[Crystal City, Virginia]], and be granted the authority to begin service from the US to [[São Paulo]], Brazil, and Tokyo, Japan. When the swap plan was complete, Delta Shuttle operations would have moved from the Marine Air Terminal to Terminal C (the present US Airways terminal), and Terminals C and D would have been connected together. US Airways Shuttle flights would have moved to the Marine Air Terminal, and mainline US Airways flights would have moved to Terminal D (the present Delta terminal).<ref>{{cite press release |title=Delta Reinforces New York Commitment with Plan for Domestic Hub at LaGuardia Airport |url=http://news.delta.com/index.php?s=43&item=751 |publisher=[[Delta Air Lines]] |date=August 12, 2009 |access-date=August 12, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090816161628/http://news.delta.com/index.php?s=43&item=751 |archive-date=August 16, 2009 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |title=US Airways Announces Slot Transaction With Delta Air Lines |url=http://www2.usairways.com/en-US/aboutus/pressroom/Aug09_announcement.html |publisher=[[US Airways]] |date=August 12, 2009 |access-date=August 12, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090826145300/http://www2.usairways.com/en-US/aboutus/pressroom/Aug09_announcement.html |archive-date=August 26, 2009 |url-status=live}}</ref> The deal would allow Delta to create a domestic hub at LaGuardia.<ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/13/nyregion/13laguardia.html | title = Delta to Increase Service at La Guardia | author = James Barron | newspaper = The New York Times | date = August 12, 2009 | accessdate = August 25, 2023}}</ref>
