American Airlines Group<\/strong> will appeal a U.S. court decision requiring it to end an alliance with JetBlue Airways<\/strong>, American CEO Robert Isom said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin in Boston ruled on May 19 that the airlines’ “Northeast Alliance” broke antitrust law and ordered the companies to dissolve the arrangement within 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We’ve got a legal system that allows for appeal, and we’re going to do that,” Isom told the Bernstein Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Justice Department sued in 2021 to undo the alliance announced the previous year. It called it a “de facto merger” of American and JetBlue operations in Boston and New York that removed incentives to compete and would end up costing consumers an additional $700 million a year to fly out of the region’s busy airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These two powerful carriers act as one entity in the northeast, allocating markets between them and replacing full-throated competition with broad cooperation,” Sorokin wrote in his ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even as the Texas-based carrier prepares to appeal the ruling, Isom said it will have to work with the Justice Department and JetBlue to figure out what it does in the interim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American, which reiterated its full-year profit forecast Wednesday, doesn’t expect the court ruling to have a material impact on its earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isom said flights out of New York accounts for less than 5% of American’s schedule, reported Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
