2023年5月19日,美国司法部(DOJ)发表声明表示,马萨诸塞州联邦地区法院在民事反垄断诉讼中作出裁决,支持DOJ、六个州和哥伦比亚特区的总检察长阻止美国航空业的东北联盟(Northeast Alliance),是一场决定性的胜利。

东北联盟是指美国航空(American Airlines)和捷蓝航空(JetBlue Airways)之间签订的一系列协议,两家企业通过这些协议整合了在波士顿和纽约市的业务。地区法院认为,美国航空和捷蓝航空作为波士顿和纽约市的两大主要竞争者,停止在两地进行竞争的决定违反了《谢尔曼法案》(Sherman Act)第1条,提高了票价,并减少了美国旅客对定期航空客运服务的选择。

Justice Department Statements on District Court Ruling Enjoining American Airlines and JetBlue’s Northeast Alliance
Attorney General Merrick B. Garland and Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter for the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division issued the following statements today regarding the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts’s ruling in favor of the Justice Department and the Attorneys General of six states and the District of Columbia in their civil antitrust lawsuit to stop the Northeast Alliance between American Airlines and JetBlue:
“Today’s decision is a win for Americans who rely on competition between airlines to travel affordably,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “The Justice Department will continue to protect competition and enforce our antitrust laws in the heavily consolidated airline industry and across every industry.”
“We are pleased with the court’s decision. The outcome of this litigation recognizes the value of competition in the airline industry,” said Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter of the Justice Department’s Antitrust Division. “We are grateful to our state law enforcement partners and the dedicated and talented Antitrust Division staff that investigated and tried this important case.”
The court’s decision follows a multi-week trial that began in September 2022. The Justice Department sued to stop American Airlines and JetBlue from continuing the Northeast Alliance. The Northeast Alliance is a series of agreements between American Airlines and JetBlue through which the two airlines have consolidated their operations in Boston and New York City. The court ruled that JetBlue and American Airlines’ decision to stop competing in Boston and New York, where they are major players, violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act because it increased fares and reduced choice for American travelers in many domestic markets for scheduled air passenger service.
