Then-Attorney General Merrick Garland in March 2023 on the Justice Dept's suit to block JetBlue’s proposed acquisition of Spirit:"We allege that JetBlue's proposed takeover of Spirit will only exacerbate concentration and further stifle competition in the airline industry....If not blocked, the merger of JetBlue and Spirit would result in higher fares and fewer choices for tens of millions of travelers across the country. The Justice Department is suing to prevent that from happening." @cspan(Craig Caplan)
