Texas view: DOJ battles American Airlines US Airways merger
The Justice Department sues to block the planned merger forming the world’s largest carrier, alleging anti competitive effects and higher costs for travelers. The case argues that existing mergers reduced competition while the airlines claim the expanded network would pressure rivals and improve service. The suit cites price coordination and a one stop savings example and notes Fort Worth based American and Phoenix based US Airways face scrutiny amid prior bankruptcies and industry consolidation.
