American Airlines Group Inc. issued the following statement on Friday:
“We appreciate the leadership and strong support of
President Trump, Secretary Duffy and numerous other leaders in the administration
who have demonstrated expertise and an ongoing commitment to continue to
improve the world’s best aviation industry.
"American Airlines is not engaged with or interested in any
discussions regarding a merger with United Airlines. While changes in the
broader airline marketplace may be necessary, a combination with United would
be negative for competition and for consumers, and therefore inconsistent with
our understanding of the administration’s philosophy toward the industry and
principles of antitrust law. Our focus will remain on executing on our
strategic objectives and positioning American to win for the long term.
"We look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with
the administration as it takes steps to strengthen the broader airline industry.”
