Washington (United States), 07/03/2023.- Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announces the Justice Department is filing an antitrust lawsuit to attempt to prevent the low-cost airline JetBlue from acquiring Spirit Airways, at the Justice Department in Washington, DC USA, 07 March 2023. Garland argued the 3.8 billion USD deal would stifle airline competition. According to the DOJ, ‘the proposed transaction will increase fares and reduce choice on routes across the country, raising costs for the flying public and harming cost-conscious fliers most acutely’.
