Narrative:
Flight X was released on a redispatch flight plan through russian airspace. A slot was requested via procedure. The slot time for the russian en route point marcc in was not received prior to departure. A phone conference with zan and other airlines, plus an arrangement to switch altitudes with air carrier Z resulted in center advising they would attempt to accommodate flight X and fly Y, dfw-nrt. However, one could possibly receive a rerte. Y operated as planned, flight X received a rerte via track M resulting in a landing in nrt with a fuel of 23800 pounds. The landing was reported to be due to insufficient fuel to proceed to kix, 265 NM southwest of nrt.
