American Airlines Appeals May 2023 Court Decision on JetBlue Partnership

Jun 3, 2024, 07:39 PM

American Airlines is appealing a federal court's decision to invalidate its partnership with JetBlue Airways. The airline argues that the ruling would hinder its ability to enter future joint ventures. The appeal follows a May 2023 decision that required American Airlines to end its alliance with JetBlue. The First Circuit judges have indicated potential agreement with the lower court's decision, leaving the future of the partnership uncertain. American Airlines has expressed interest in considering a new arrangement with JetBlue if the appeal is successful. The appeal was presented on Monday.
