To: Biden Administration
Stop the airline merger!
We ask that you enforce antitrust laws and regulations in the airline industry, including issuing fines when airline companies are breaking the law. And we urge you to push for the strongest possible outcome in the American Airlines-JetBlue case.
Why is this important?
The United States is served by just five major airlines. Now, American Airlines — the largest of them all — wants to merge many of its services with JetBlue. We can’t let that happen.
Last week, the Justice Department went to trial to challenge the merger. We need to make sure our voices are heard: we demand protection from the big airline corporations!
Sign the petition: Tell the Justice Department we demand a strong settlement in the American Airlines-JetBlue case, consistent with the Biden Administration’s stated commitment to antitrust enforcement!
In recent months we’ve seen record numbers of flight cancellations and skyrocketing ticket prices. The way the airlines mistreat passengers and workers alike makes clear: big airline corporations have too much power already. The last thing we need is even more consolidation.
The Trump Department of Transportation signed off on American Airlines and JetBlue’s proposal to merge services to Boston and New York just before President Biden took office. As Biden’s Justice Department has observed, it’s a “de facto merger,” one that received little to no scrutiny.
The US is currently in the midst of one of the biggest consolidations of corporate power the country has seen in the last century. And consumers are suffering — corporate profits are at a 70-year high, as corporations with few competitors use inflation as a cover story to jack up prices. We need antitrust enforcement now more than ever — starting with the airline conglomerates.
