American Airlines and JetBlue are expanding their partnership in the Northeast even while the government tries to kill the airlines' agreement.
FILE - A JetBlue Airbus A320 taxis to a gate on Oct. 26, 2016, after landing, as an American Airlines jet is seen parked at its gate at Tampa International Airport in Tampa, Fla. American Airlines and JetBlue Airways are pushing ahead with an expansion of their partnership in the Northeast, the airlines said Friday, Dec. 9, 2022, even as a federal judge considers the governments attempt to kill the deal.
American said that on May 5 it will add flights between LaGuardia and Buffalo, New York, Greenville, South Carolina, and four other cities. The Justice Department, six states and the District of Columbia sued to kill the partnership, which lets American and JetBlue work together on setting schedules and sharing revenue on flights in New York and Boston.
After a trial lasting several weeks, a judge in Boston took the case under consideration last month. A verdict is expected early next year.
