American Airlines Group Inc. on Wednesday reiterated its
opposition to a Department of Justice antitrust lawsuit that
alleges its partnership with JetBlue Airways Corp. is
anticompetitive.
"American believes the complaint is without merit and will
defend itself vigorously," the airline said in a Securities and
Exchange Commission filing.
The lawsuit, which is joined by six states and the District of
Columbia, alleges that a partnership between the airlines to market
each other's flights on certain routes is a maneuver to consolidate
the airlines' control over the industry.
American Airlines Chief Executive Doug Parker and JetBlue CEO
Robin Hayes criticized the lawsuit, saying the partnership helps
the airlines better serve customers by expanding low-fare offerings
and making more long-haul international flights from New York
viable for American.
