(Reuters) – American Airlines has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a lower-court decision that found its now-scrapped U.S. Northeast partnership with JetBlue Airways violated federal antitrust law.
American Airlines in a petition made public on Monday asked the justices to review a decision in November by a Boston-based federal appeals court that upheld a trial judge’s ruling blocking the airlines’ “Northeast Alliance,” which had allowed the two carriers to coordinate flights and pool revenue.
