American Airlines, JetBlue trial puts authorities market-consolidation concerns to the test
The American Airlines and JetBlue antitrust trial now unfolding in the United States is set to test the government\u2019s ability to fight consolidation in concentrated industries when partnership and joint venture agreements are proposed, rather than full acquisitions. The ruling is also expected to spill over into the US Department of Justice\u2019s decision in JetBlue Airways\u2019 proposed buyout of Spirit Airlines.
