Story
Biden Administration, DOJ, and DOT Launch Investigation into Airline Mergers and Competition
Oct 24, 2024, 08:43 PM
The Biden administration has announced a comprehensive investigation into the competition within the U.S. air travel industry. This initiative, led by the Justice Department and the Department of Transportation, aims to assess the impact of airline mergers and joint ventures on market competition. The agencies are currently seeking public input as part of this inquiry, which follows the administration's previous actions to block three airline deals in the past four years. President Joe Biden has also been vocal in criticizing airlines for imposing excessive fees, which he refers to as 'junk fees.' This investigation could have significant implications for airline partnerships and the broader economic landscape, particularly in states like Utah, where tourism is a key economic driver.
