Airline Alliance Coordination And Fare Disclosure Register

PROBLEM: On 19 May 2023 a federal judge (D. Mass.) held in United States v. American Airlines Group that the American–JetBlue Northeast Alliance violated Section 1 of the Sherman Act as an unreasonable restraint of trade, because the two airlines coordinated routes, schedules, capacity and revenue sharing in Boston and New York and operated as one for most flights there, and ordered the alliance dissolved within 30 days; the First Circuit affirmed on 8 November 2024.

SOLUTION: A Storage Copy Data Management register that records each airline alliance agreement with the routes coordinated, the schedules and capacity shared, the revenue-sharing terms, and the fare data on affected routes, flagging any alliance where coordination covers pricing, capacity or scheduling without a public competition assessment.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — U.S. District Court (D. Mass.), 19 May 2023, affirmed 1st Cir. 8 November 2024: United States v. American Airlines Group — Northeast Alliance held to violate Section 1 of the Sherman Act; ordered dissolved within 30 days.
