American Airlines ends JetBlue talks, sues over collapsed alliance
- American Airlines filed a lawsuit on Monday in Texas against JetBlue after ending partnership talks following the collapse of the Northeast Alliance.
- This lawsuit seeks to recover over $1 million owed to American after a 2023 court dissolved the Northeast Alliance for violating antitrust laws.
- The Northeast Alliance, approved in July 2020, allowed American and JetBlue to coordinate flights across Boston and New York, improving competition against other airlines.
- Vice Chair Steve Johnson wrote to employees that American proposed a beneficial partnership, but talks failed as JetBlue prioritized different business objectives and could not agree operationally or financially.
- The lawsuit reflects ongoing tensions after the alliance's unwinding and suggests continued legal and business disputes between American Airlines and JetBlue.
