ValuJet Airlines relinquished its takeoff and landing rights at New York's LaGuardia Airport. The rights, which ValuJet had been leasing from Continental Airlines, allowed for five takeoffs and five landings each day. ValuJet spokesman Gregg Kenyon said the slots were returned in July. ValuJet has been trying to regain FAA permission to fly and hopes to resume service, with a sharply reduced schedule, by the end of the week. In addition to pilots and flight attendants, who will be making runs with FAA inspectors this week, ValuJet has begun recalling customer service personnel and reservations agents, Kenyon said.
