Last week it became official that the merger between American Airlines and US Airways will become a reality. The DOJ was concerned about the way the merger would affect competition between domestic air service, but having allowed other mergers of comparable size in recent years, the DOJ had a weak base of contention.
Following this new partnership, smaller airlines anticipate access to an increased number of airport hubs, changed routes, and new routes in general.
