American Airlines, LAN´s Affiliates Get Antitrust Immunity

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) granted this week antitrust immunity to a three-way alliance of American Airlines, LAN Peru and Chile´s LAN Airlines.

The immunity allows for coordinated marketing and pricing, but the DOT excluded revenue pooling or pricing, inventory and yield-management coordination for Miami-Lima, where American Airlines and LAN Peru have the only nonstop flights.
