The Biden administration and JetBlue Airways are facing off in court over the Biden administration's effort to stop JetBlue from buying Spirit Airlines. The trial over the government's antitrust lawsuit is scheduled to begin Tuesday in Boston. JetBlue is trying to buy Spirit for $3.

FILE - In this Jan. 20, 2011, file photo, a JetBlue logo is displayed on the side of a jet as it taxis at Boston’s Logan International Airport. JetBlue says it will expand its transatlantic flying next spring and summer. The airline said Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023 it will operate daily flights from New York and Boston to Dublin from March through September, and it plans to fly between New York and Edinburgh from late May through September.

The Justice Department is fresh off victory in a previous lawsuit that killed a partnership between JetBlue and American Airlines. The New York carrier argues that it needs Spirit to bulk up and compete better against the bigger airlines. JetBlue touts itself as “one of the most disruptive and innovative companies in the history of the airline industry,” and says it can bring down fares if it can go head-to-head against the Big Four on more routes.

“Consumers are better off with an independent Spirit, not a JetBlue intent on removing seats from planes and charging higher fares,” government lawyers argued in their pre-trial brief. They say the harm will fall hardest on cost-conscious consumers.
