Northwest Continental deal challenged by Justice Dept
The Justice Department filed in Detroit federal court to block Northwest Airlines and Continental Airlines from merging their route networks and frequent flyer programs. It argues the combination would curb competition, raise fares, and degrade service for over 4 million travelers on nonstop routes between hubs including Detroit, Memphis, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Houston, and Newark. Northwest and Continental deny the claims, saying the alliance would increase choices while keeping separate identities for at least a decade. The case could drag on for years, though no temporary blocking order was sought.
