Congressional Democrats are warning that the proposed merger of Frontier Airlines and Spirit Airlines would reduce competition among low-cost carriers and drive up fares. The lawmakers said previous mergers have hurt consumers and workers.
The lawmakers said previous mergers have hurt consumers and workers, and if Frontier and Spirit ever drop their budget-carrier business model, the industry “would lose an important check on prices.”
Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., along with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and five others urged Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and the head of the Justice Department’s antitrust division to review the merger closely for potential violations of antitrust law, and consider acting to stop it.The Biden administration has signaled that it will scrutinize mergers more closely to promote competition.
