WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Trump administration on Monday asked a U.S. appeals court to reject a bid by Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico to halt an order forcing them to unwind a joint venture that lets the carriers coordinate scheduling, pricing and capacity for U.S.–Mexico flights.
The Transportation Department “validly decided to no longer authorize legalized collusion by two formerly competing airlines that control almost 60% of operations at the fourth-largest international gateway to and from the United States,” the government said in a filing, citing Mexico City flights.
