Airline hit with antitrust suit
Article Abstract:
American Airlines Inc has been sued by the Dept of Justice for its alleged antitrust practices. The government said that the airline lowered its fares and increased frequency on routes to crush its discount airline competitors in Dallas-Forth Worth Airport. The two-year inquiry by the government also showed that American sharply increased its fares and offered less frequency of flights when their competitors were driven off the routes.
