Opinion for the court filed by Circuit Judge BUCKLEY.
BUCKLEY, Circuit Judge:
Air Canada petitions for review of the United States Department of Transportation’s denial of its request for a permanent increase in takeoff and landing rights, or “slots,” at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Air Canada argues that the agency erroneously interpreted the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and Canada that governs the allocation of slots at LaGuardia. We conclude that the Department of Transportation correctly interpreted the Memorandum and affirm.
