US lawsuit challenges alliance of 2 airlines for stifling competition - Justice Dept.

Washington, Sep 22 (UNI/Sputnik) The Biden administration and six US states filed a lawsuit to prevent American Airlines and Jet Blue from consolidating operations in New York City and Boston, the Justice Department said.
“The civil antitrust complaint alleges that this extensive combination, which they call the “Northeast Alliance,” will not only eliminate important competition in these cities, but will also harm air travelers across the country by significantly diminishing JetBlue’s incentive to compete with American elsewhere,” the Justice Department said in a press release on Tuesday.
The Northeast Alliance combines American’s and JetBlue’s operations at four major airports: Boston Logan, New York John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia and Newark Liberty, the release said.
