Feds Move To Block Airline Merger Of American And US Airways
The Justice Department and the attorneys general of six states plus the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit in DC federal court to block the proposed merger of American Airlines and US Airways. They argue the deal would reduce competition, raise fares, and cut service, potentially giving four airlines over 80 percent of U.S. market share and a dominant position at Reagan National Airport. The carriers said the action is wrong and will harm consumers by limiting network choices. The suit follows years of consolidation in the industry and American’s bankruptcy exit plans.
