The companies announced the deal in July 2020 at a time when airlines were struggling to survive amid the collapse of travel during the Covid-19 pandemic.
But Garland said the deal"would result in higher fares, fewer choices and lower quality service if allowed to continue."
American Airlines Chairman and CEO Doug Parker said the alliance has delivered"clear consumer benefits." American Airlines said in a separate statement that"before the alliance, Delta and United dominated the New York City market. The NEA has created a third, full-scale competitor in New York and is empowering more growth in Boston.""This is not a merger: American and JetBlue are – and will remain – independent airlines."
