American, JetBlue to end sales of each others' tickets next week after judge orders breakup
Publishing timestamp: 2023-07-14 19:29:16
Summary
JetBlue and American Airlines will stop selling seats on each other's flights following a federal judge's ruling that their partnership in the Northeast violated antitrust laws. The airlines had teamed up to better compete with rivals Delta and United, but the Justice Department and several states sued to block the partnership. JetBlue will focus on its acquisition of Spirit Airlines, while American plans to appeal the ruling. Existing bookings will be honored, but the wind-down process will take place over the coming months.
