'This Merger Will Limit Choices': US Sues to Block JetBlue From Buying Spirit Airlines

New York, Massachusetts and the District of Columbia joined the lawsuit. JetBlue and Spirit vowed to continue fighting to salvage their agreement.

The lawsuit is the latest by the Biden administration to seek to block mergers in industries including video gaming, publishing and sugar refining. JetBlue held on to hope that the administration would come around to its argument that the combination with Spirit would be far smaller than other deals and would help consumers by putting pressure on the bigger airlines.

The Justice Department sued to block the last megadeal, American’s merger with US Airways, then reached a settlement that required the carriers to give up some gates and takeoff and landing slots at several major airports. Before that, the government allowed Delta to buy Northwest, United to merge with Continental, and it later let Southwest buy AirTran.

Nothing this administration does is for the people. Someone has a payout coming by blocking.
