Airbus A320-211 plane taxis past an American Airlines Inc. plane standing by a gate at LaGuardia Airport in the Queens borough of New York, U.S., on Monday, April 25, 2011. American Airlines Inc. is trying to grab market share in New York, the biggest and possibly most-contested U.S. aviation market, with terminal upgrades at LaGuardia Airport. Delta Air Lines Inc.&apos;s bid to redo its space remains in limbo, bogged down in talks with federal regulators and US Airways Group Inc. about access to more landing rights.
