I. 1.

INTRODUCTION Millions of passengers depend on the airline industry to travel quickly, efficiently, and

safely between various cities in the United States and throughout the world. Since 1978, the nation has relied on competition among airlines to promote affordability, innovation, and service and quality improvements. In recent years, however, the major airlines have, in tandem, raised fares, imposed new and higher fees, and reduced service. Competition has diminished and consumers have paid a heavy price. This merger—by creating the world’s largest airline— would, in the words of US Airways’ management, “finish[ ] industry evolution.” It would reduce the number of major domestic airlines from five to four, and the number of “legacy” airlines—today, Delta, United, American, and US Airways—from four to three. In so doing, it threatens substantial harm to consumers. Because of the size of the airline industry, if this merger were approved, even a small increase in the price of airline tickets, checked bags, or flight change fees would cause hundreds of millions of dollars of harm to American consumers annually. 2. American and US Airways compete directly on thousands of heavily traveled nonstop

and connecting routes. Millions of passengers benefit each year from head-to-head competition that this merger would eliminate. With less competition, airlines can cut service and raise prices with less fear of competitive responses from rivals. 3. This merger will leave three very similar legacy airlines—Delta, United, and the new

American—that past experience shows increasingly prefer tacit coordination over full-throated competition. By further reducing the number of legacy airlines and aligning the economic incentives of those that remain, the merger of US Airways and American would make it easier for the remaining airlines to cooperate, rather than compete, on price and service. That enhanced

3

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 4 of 56

cooperation is unlikely to be significantly disrupted by Southwest and JetBlue, which, while offering important competition on the routes they fly, have less extensive domestic and international route networks than the legacy airlines. 4. US Airways’ own executives—who would run the new American—have long been

“proponents of consolidation.” US Airways believes that the industry—before 2005—had “too many” competitors, causing an “irrational business model.” Since 2005, there has been a wave of consolidation in the industry. US Airways has cheered these successive mergers, with its CEO stating in 2011 that “fewer airlines” is a “good thing.” US Airways’ President explained this thinking that same year: “Three successful fare increases – [we are] able to pass along to customers because of consolidation.” (emphasis added). Similarly, he boasted at a 2012 industry conference: “Consolidation has also . . . allowed the industry to do things like ancillary revenues [e.g., checked bag and ticket change fees] . . . . That is a structural permanent change to the industry and one that’s impossible to overstate the benefit from it.” In essence, industry consolidation has left fewer, more-similar airlines, making it easier for the remaining airlines to raise prices, impose new or higher baggage and other ancillary fees, and reduce capacity and service. This merger positions US Airways’ management to continue the trend—at the expense of consumers. 5. US Airways intends to do just that. If this merger were approved, US Airways would no

longer need to offer low-fare options for certain travelers. For example, US Airways employs “Advantage Fares,” an aggressive discounting strategy aimed at undercutting the other legacy airlines’ nonstop fares with cheaper connecting service. US Airways’ hubs are in cities that generate less lucrative nonstop traffic than the other legacy airlines’ hubs. To compensate, US

4

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 5 of 56

Airways uses its Advantage Fares to attract additional passengers on flights connecting through its hubs. 6. The other legacy airlines take a different approach. If, for example, United offers

nonstop service on a route, and Delta and American offer connecting service on that same route, Delta and American typically charge the same price for their connecting service as United charges for its nonstop service. As American executives observed, the legacy airlines “generally respect the pricing of the non-stop carrier [on a given route],” even though it means offering connecting service at the same price as nonstop service. But American, Delta, and United frequently do charge lower prices for their connecting service on routes where US Airways offers nonstop service. They do so to respond to US Airways’ use of Advantage Fares on other routes. 7. If the merger were approved, US Airways’ economic rationale for offering Advantage

Fares would likely go away. The merged airline’s cost of sticking with US Airways’ one-stop, low-price strategy would increase. Delta and United would likely undercut the merged firm on a larger number of nonstop routes. At the same time, the revenues generated from Advantage Fares would shrink as American’s current nonstop routes would cease to be targets for Advantage Fares. The bottom line is that the merged airline would likely abandon Advantage Fares, eliminating significant competition and causing consumers to pay hundreds of millions of dollars more. 8. Consumers will likely also be harmed by the planned merger because American had a

standalone plan to emerge from bankruptcy poised to grow. American planned to expand domestically and internationally, adding service on nearly 115 new routes. To support its plan, American recently made the largest aircraft order in industry history.

9.

American’s standalone plan would have bucked current industry trends toward capacity

reductions and less competition. US Airways called American’s growth plan “industry destabilizing” and worried that American’s plan would cause other carriers to react “with their own enhanced growth plans . . . .” The result would be to increase competitive pressures throughout the industry. After the merger, US Airways’ current executives—who would manage the merged firm—would be able to abandon American’s efforts to expand and instead continue the industry’s march toward higher prices and less service. As its CEO candidly stated earlier this year, US Airways views this merger as “the last major piece needed to fully rationalize the industry.” 10. Passengers to and from the Washington, D.C. area are likely to be particularly hurt. To

serve Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (“Reagan National”), a carrier must have “slots,” which are government-issued rights to take off and land. US Airways currently holds 55% of the slots at Reagan National and the merger would increase the percentage of slots held by the combined firm to 69%. The combined airline would have a monopoly on 63% of the nonstop routes served out of the airport. Competition at Reagan National cannot flourish where one airline increasingly controls an essential ingredient to competition. Without slots, other airlines cannot enter or expand the number of flights that they offer on other routes. As a result, Washington, D.C. area passengers would likely see higher prices and fewer choices if the merger were approved. 11. Notwithstanding their prior unequivocal statements about the effects of consolidation, the

defendants will likely claim that the elimination of American as a standalone competitor will benefit consumers. They will argue that Advantage Fares will continue, existing capacity levels and growth plans will be maintained, and unspecified or unverified “synergies” will materialize,

6

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 7 of 56

creating the possibility of lower fares. The American public has seen this before. Commenting on a commitment to maintain service levels made by two other airlines seeking approval for a merger in 2010, the CEO of US Airways said: “I’m hopeful they’re just saying what they need . . . to get this [transaction] approved.” By making claims about benefits that are at odds with their prior statements on the likely effects of this merger, that is precisely what the merging parties’ executives are doing here—saying what they believe needs to be said to pass antitrust scrutiny. 12. There is no reason to accept the likely anticompetitive consequences of this merger. Both

airlines are confident they can and will compete effectively as standalone companies. A revitalized American is fully capable of emerging from bankruptcy proceedings on its own with a competitive cost structure, profitable existing business, and plans for growth. US Airways today is competing vigorously and earning record profits. Executives of both airlines have repeatedly stated that they do not need this merger to succeed. 13. The merger between US Airways and American would likely substantially lessen

competition, and tend to create a monopoly, in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18. Therefore, this merger should be permanently enjoined. II. 14. JURISDICTION, INTERSTATE COMMERCE, AND VENUE The United States brings this action, and this Court has subject-matter jurisdiction over

this action, under Section 15 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 25, to prevent and restrain US Airways and American Airlines from violating Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18. 15. The Plaintiff States bring this action under Section 16 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 26,

to prevent and restrain US Airways and American Airlines from violating Section 7 of the

7

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 8 of 56

Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18. The Plaintiff States, by and through their respective Attorneys General, bring this action as parens patriae on behalf of the citizens, general welfare, and economy of each of their states. 16. The defendants are engaged in, and their activities substantially affect, interstate

commerce, and commerce in each of the Plaintiff States. US Airways and American Airlines each annually transport millions of passengers across state lines throughout this country, generating billions of dollars in revenue while doing so. 17. Venue is proper under Section 12 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 22. This Court also

has personal jurisdiction over each defendant. Both defendants are found and transact business in this judicial district. III. 18. THE DEFENDANTS AND THE TRANSACTION Defendant US Airways Group, Inc., is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Tempe,

Arizona. Last year, it flew over fifty million passengers to approximately 200 locations worldwide, taking in more than $13 billion in revenue. US Airways operates hubs in Phoenix, Charlotte, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. 19. US Airways is performing exceptionally well. In 2012, it enjoyed record profits. It is

operating at high load factors—the percentage of seats sold on its flights—and has a national and international route network, alliances with international airlines, a strong brand name, modern equipment, and a competitive cost structure. In mid-2012, US Airways’ CEO, touting the airline’s “record second quarter results,” told Dow Jones that the company “has a great business model that works and we certainly don’t need to merge with another airline.” 20. Defendant AMR Corporation is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Fort Worth,

Texas. AMR Corporation is the parent company of American Airlines. Last year, American

8

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 9 of 56

flew over eighty million passengers to approximately 250 locations worldwide, taking in more than $24 billion in revenue. American operates hubs in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and Miami. The American Airlines brand is “one of the most recognized . . . in the world.” 21. In November 2011, American filed for bankruptcy reorganization and is currently under

the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. American adopted and implemented a standalone business plan designed “to restore American to industry leadership, profitability and growth.” While in bankruptcy, American management “pursued and successfully implemented” key provisions of this plan, including revenue and network enhancements, as well as “restructuring efforts [that] have encompassed labor cost savings, managerial efficiencies, fleet reconfiguration, and other economies . . . .” That work has paid off. American reported that its revenue growth has “outpaced” the industry since entering bankruptcy and in its most recent quarterly results reported a company record-high $5.6 billion in revenues, with $357 million in profits. Under experienced and sophisticated senior management, American’s restructuring process has positioned it to produce “industry leading profitability.” As recently as January 8, 2013, American’s management presented plans to emerge from bankruptcy that would increase the destinations American serves in the United States and the frequency of its flights, and position American to compete independently as a profitable airline with aggressive plans for growth. 22. US Airways sees American the same way. Its CEO observed in December 2011 that

“A[merican] is not going away, they will be stronger post-bankruptcy because they will have less debt and reduced labor costs.” A US Airways’ executive vice president similarly wrote in July 2012 that “[t]here is NO question about AMR’s ability to survive on a standalone basis.”

23.

US Airways and American agreed to merge on February 13, 2013. US Airways

shareholders would own 28 percent of the combined airline, while American shareholders, creditors, labor unions, and employees would own 72 percent. The merged airline would operate under the American brand name, but the new American would be run by US Airways management. IV. THE RELEVANT MARKETS A. Scheduled Air Passenger Service Between Cities 24. Domestic scheduled air passenger service enables consumers to travel quickly and

efficiently between various cities in the United States. Air travel offers passengers significant time savings and convenience over other forms of travel. For example, a flight from Washington, D.C. to Detroit takes just over an hour of flight time. Driving between the two cities takes at least eight hours. A train between the two cities takes more than fifteen hours. 25. Due to time savings and convenience afforded by scheduled air passenger service, few

passengers would substitute other modes of transportation (car, bus, or train) for scheduled air passenger service in response to a small but significant industry-wide fare increase. Another way to say this, as described in the Fed. Trade Comm’n & U.S. Dep’t of Justice Horizontal Merger Guidelines (2010), and endorsed by courts in this Circuit, is that a hypothetical monopolist of all domestic scheduled air passenger service likely would increase its prices by at least a small but significant and non-transitory amount. Scheduled air passenger service, therefore, constitutes a line of commerce and a relevant product market within the meaning of Section 7 of the Clayton Act. 26. A “city pair” is comprised of a flight’s departure and arrival cities. For example, a flight

departing from Washington and arriving in Chicago makes up the Washington-Chicago city pair.

10

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 11 of 56

Passengers seek to depart from airports close to where they live and work, and arrive at airports close to their intended destinations. Most airline travel is related to business, family events, and vacations. Thus, most passengers book flights with their origins and destinations predetermined. Few passengers who wish to fly from one city to another would likely switch to flights between other cities in response to a small but significant and non-transitory fare increase. 27. Airlines customarily set fares on a city pair basis. For each city pair, the degree and

nature of the competition from other airlines generally plays a large role in an airline’s pricing decision. 28. Therefore, a hypothetical monopolist of scheduled air passenger service between specific

cities likely would increase its prices by at least a small but significant and non-transitory amount. Accordingly, each city pair is a relevant geographic market and section of the country under Section 7 of the Clayton Act. 29. Consumer preferences also play a role in airline pricing and are relevant for the purpose

of analyzing the likely effects of the proposed merger. Some passengers prefer nonstop service because it saves travel time; some passengers prefer buying tickets at the last minute; others prefer service at a particular airport within a metropolitan area. For example, most business customers traveling to and from downtown Washington prefer service at Reagan National over other airports in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Through a variety of fare restrictions and rules, airlines can profitably raise prices for some of these passengers without raising prices for others. Thus, the competitive effects of the proposed merger may vary among passengers depending on their preferences for particular types of service or particular airports.

11

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 12 of 56

B. Takeoff and Landing Slots at Reagan National Airport 30. Reagan National is one of only four airports in the country requiring slots for takeoffs

and landings. Slots are expensive (often valued at over $2 million per slot), difficult to obtain, and only rarely change hands between airlines. There are no alternatives to slots for airlines seeking to enter or expand their service at Reagan National. 31. Reagan National is across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., and, due to its

proximity to the city and direct service via the Metro, airlines actively seek to serve passengers flying into and out of Reagan National. Airlines do not view service at other airports as adequate substitutes for service offered at Reagan National for certain passengers, and thus they are unlikely to switch away from buying or leasing slots at Reagan National in response to a small but significant increase in the price of slots. Airlines pay significant sums for slots at Reagan National, despite having the option of serving passengers through the region’s other airports. A hypothetical monopolist of slots at Reagan National likely would increase its prices by at least a small but significant and non-transitory amount. Thus, slots at Reagan National Airport constitute a line of commerce, section of the country, and relevant market within the meaning of Section 7 of the Clayton Act. V. THE MERGER IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN ANTICOMPETITIVE EFFECTS A. Industry Background 32. Today, four network or “legacy” airlines remain in the United States: American,

US Airways, United, and Delta. These four have extensive national and international networks, connections to hundreds of destinations, established brand names, and strong frequent flyer reward programs. In addition, there are non-network airlines, including Southwest Airlines and a handful of smaller firms, which typically do not offer “hub-and-spoke” service.

12

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 13 of 56

33.

Airlines compete in many ways. One is the price of a ticket. Airlines also compete based

on: nonstop versus connecting flights; number of destinations served; convenient flight schedules; passenger comfort and seating policies; choices for classes of service; carry-on baggage policies; the degree of personal service at ticket counters and boarding areas; onboard meal and drink service; in-flight entertainment; and the quality and generosity of frequent flyer programs. 34. Since 2005, the U.S. airline industry has undergone significant consolidation. The

consolidation “wave” started with the 2005 merger between US Airways and America West, creating today’s US Airways. In 2008, Delta and Northwest Airlines merged; in 2010, United and Continental merged; and in 2011, Southwest Airlines and AirTran merged. The chart below, in which one of US Airways’ executive vice presidents referred to industry consolidation as the “New Holy Grail,” demonstrates that since 2005 the number of major airlines has dropped from nine to five.

35.

Increasing consolidation among large airlines has hurt passengers. The major airlines

have copied each other in raising fares, imposing new fees on travelers, reducing or eliminating service on a number of city pairs, and downgrading amenities. An August 2012 presentation from US Airways observes that consolidation has resulted in “Fewer and Larger Competitors.” The structural change to “fewer and larger competitors” has allowed “[t]he industry” to “reap the benefits.” Those benefits to the industry are touted by US Airways in the same presentation as including “capacity reductions” and new “ancillary revenues” like bag fees. B. Many Relevant Markets Are Highly Concentrated and the Planned Merger Would Significantly Increase that Concentration 36. In 2005, there were nine major airlines. If this merger were approved, there would be

only four. The three remaining legacy airlines and Southwest would account for over 80% of the domestic scheduled passenger service market, with the new American becoming the biggest airline in the world. 37. Market concentration is one useful indicator of the level of competitive vigor in a market,

and the likely competitive effects of a merger. The more concentrated a market, and the more a transaction would increase concentration in a market, the more likely it is that a transaction would result in a meaningful reduction in competition. Concentration in relevant markets is typically measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (“HHI”). Markets in which the HHI exceeds 2,500 points are considered highly concentrated. Post-merger increases in HHI of more than 200 points are considered to be significant increases in concentration. 38. In more than 1,000 of the city pair markets in which American and US Airways currently

compete head-to-head, the post-merger HHI would exceed 2,500 points and the merger would increase the HHI by more than 200 points. For example, on the Charlotte-Dallas city pair, the post-merger HHI will increase by 4,648 to 9,319 (out of 10,000). In these markets, US Airways 14

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 15 of 56

and American annually serve more than 14 million passengers and collect more than $6 billion in fares. The substantial increases in concentration in these highly concentrated markets demonstrate that in these relevant markets, the merger is presumed, as a matter of law, to be anticompetitive. The relevant markets described in this paragraph are listed in Appendix A. 39. Other city pairs across the country would likely be affected by the loss of competition

stemming from this planned merger. In some of these markets, US Airways and American compete head-to-head, often offering consumers discounted fares. If approved, this merger will likely end much of that discounting, significantly harming consumers in the process. Moreover, the loss of competition in these markets would increase the likelihood that the remaining airlines can coordinate to raise price, reduce output, and diminish the quality of their services. In these relevant markets, the merger is likely also to substantially lessen competition. 40. In the market for slots at Reagan National, the merger would result in a highly

concentrated market, with a post-merger HHI of 4,959. The merger would also significantly increase concentration by 1,493 points. As a result, the merger should be presumed, as a matter of law, to be anticompetitive. C. This Merger Would Increase the Likelihood of Coordinated Behavior Among the Remaining Network Airlines Causing Higher Fares, Higher Fees, and More Limited Service 41. The structure of the airline industry is already conducive to coordinated behavior: Few

large players dominate the industry; each transaction is small; and most pricing is readily transparent. 42. For example, the legacy airlines closely watch the pricing moves of their competitors.

When one airline “leads” a price increase, other airlines frequently respond by following with price increases of their own. The initiating carrier will lead the price increase and then see if the

15

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 16 of 56

other carriers will match the increase. If they do not, the initiating carrier will generally withdraw the increase shortly thereafter. 43. The legacy airlines also use what they call “cross-market initiatives,” or “CMIs,” to deter

aggressive discounting and prevent fare wars. A CMI occurs where two or more airlines compete against each other on multiple routes. If an airline offers discounted fares in one market, an affected competitor often responds with discounts in another market—a CMI—where the discounting airline prefers a higher fare. CMIs often cause an airline to withdraw fare discounts. For example, in the fall of 2009, US Airways lowered fares and relaxed restrictions on flights out of Detroit (a Delta stronghold) to Philadelphia. Delta responded by offering lower fares and relaxed restrictions from Boston to Washington (a US Airways stronghold). US Airways’ team lead for pricing observed Delta’s move and concluded “[w]e have more to lose in BOSWAS . . . I think we need to bail on the [Detroit-Philadelphia] changes.” 44. There is also past express coordinated behavior in the industry. For example, all airlines

have complete, accurate, and real-time access to every detail of every airline’s published fare structure on every route through the airline-owned Airline Tariff Publishing Company (“ATPCO”). US Airways’ management has called ATPCO “a dedicated price-telegraph network for the industry.” The airlines use ATPCO to monitor and analyze each other’s fares and fare changes and implement strategies designed to coordinate pricing. Airlines have previously used ATPCO to engage in coordinated behavior. In 1992, the United States filed a lawsuit to stop several airlines, including both defendants, from using their ATPCO filings as a signaling device to facilitate agreements on fares. That lawsuit resulted in a consent decree, now expired. 45. US Airways also has communicated directly with a competitor when it was upset by that

competitor’s efforts to compete more aggressively. In 2010, one of US Airways’ larger rivals

16

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 17 of 56

extended a “triple miles” promotion that set off a market share battle among legacy carriers. The rival airline was also expanding into new markets and was rumored to be returning planes to its fleet that had been mothballed during the recession. US Airways’ CEO complained about these aggressive maneuvers, stating to his senior executives that such actions were “hurting [the rival airline’s] profitability – and unfortunately everyone else’s.” US Airways’ senior management debated over email about how best to get the rival airline’s attention and bring it back in line with the rest of the industry. In that email thread, US Airways’ CEO urged the other executives to “portray[ ] these guys as idiots to Wall Street and anyone else who’ll listen.” Ultimately, to make sure the message was received, US Airways’ CEO forwarded the email chain—and its candid discussion about how aggressive competition would be bad for the industry—directly to the CEO of the rival airline. (The rival’s CEO immediately responded that it was an inappropriate communication that he was referring to his general counsel.) 46. Coordination becomes easier as the number of major airlines dwindles and their business

models converge. If not stopped, the merger would likely substantially enhance the ability of the industry to coordinate on fares, ancillary fees, and service reductions by creating, in the words of US Airways executives, a “Level Big 3”of network carriers, each with similar sizes, costs, and structures. 47. Southwest, the only major, non-network airline, and other smaller carriers have networks

and business models that differ significantly from the legacy airlines. Traditionally, Southwest and other smaller carriers have been less likely to participate in coordinated pricing or service reductions. For example, Southwest does not charge customers for a first checked bag or ticket change fees. Yet that has not deterred the legacy carriers from continuing, and even increasing, those fees. In November 2011, a senior US Airways executive explained to her boss the reason:

17

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 18 of 56

“Our employees know full well that the real competition for us is [American], [Delta], and [United]. Yes we compete with Southwest and JetBlue, but the product is different and the customer base is also different.” 1. The Merger Would Likely Result in the Elimination of US Airways’ Advantage Fares 48. On routes where one legacy airline offers nonstop service, the other legacies “generally

respect the pricing of the non-stop carrier,” as American has put it. Thus, if American offers nonstop service from Washington to Dallas at $800 round-trip, United and Delta will, “[d]espite having a service disadvantage,” price their connecting fares at the level of American’s nonstop fares. The legacy carriers do this because if one airline, say Delta, were to undercut fares in markets where American offers nonstop service, American would likely do the same in Delta’s nonstop markets. To Delta, the cost of being undercut in its nonstop markets exceeds the benefit it would receive from winning additional passengers in American nonstop markets. 49. US Airways, alone among the legacy carriers, has a different cost-benefit analysis for

pricing connecting routes. Although it too is a national network carrier, US Airways has hubs in cities that generate less revenue from passengers flying nonstop than the other legacy airlines’ hubs. Because US Airways’ hubs generate less revenue from passengers flying nonstop, US Airways must gain more revenue from connecting passengers. It gets that revenue by offering connecting service that is up to 40% cheaper than other airlines’ nonstop service. US Airways calls this program “Advantage Fares.” 50. Millions of consumers have benefitted. Advantage Fares offer consumers, especially

those who purchase tickets at the last minute, meaningfully lower fares. The screenshot below from ITA Software, Airfare Matrix (“ITA”), taken on August 12, 2013, for travel departing on

18

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 19 of 56

August 13 and returning August 14 from Miami to Cincinnati, shows the benefits of US Airways’ Advantage Fare program to passengers 1:

American is the only airline on this route to offer nonstop service, charging $740. Delta and United do not meaningfully compete. Both charge more for their connecting service than American charges for nonstop service. Thus, on this particular route, a passenger who chose Delta or United would pay more for an inferior product. In contrast, US Airways’ fares today are significantly lower than American’s fares, and offer consumers a real choice. Those consumers who are more price conscious receive the benefit of a substantially lower-fare option. In this case, a customer who purchased a US Airways one-stop ticket would save $269 compared to American’s nonstop service. 51. The benefits from Advantage Fares extend to hundreds of other routes, including those

where more than one carrier offers nonstop service. The screenshot below from ITA, taken on August 12, 2013, for travel departing on August 13 and returning August 14 from New York to Houston, demonstrates just how dramatic the savings can be:

1

“Multiple Airlines” refers to an itinerary where a passenger uses different airlines for their departing and returning flights. 19

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 20 of 56

US Airways’ connecting fare is $870 cheaper than the other legacy carriers’ nonstop flights, and beats JetBlue and AirTran’s fares by more than $300. Although Southwest does not participate in the standard online travel sites, a cross-check against the Southwest website demonstrates that US Airways also beats Southwest’s $887 nonstop fare by more than $300. 52. Other airlines have chosen to respond to Advantage Fares with their own low connecting

fares in markets where US Airways has nonstop service. That is, the other legacy airlines undercut US Airways’ nonstop fares the same way that US Airways undercuts their nonstop fares. The screenshot below from ITA, taken on August 12, 2013, for travel on August 13 and returning August 14 from Charlotte to Syracuse, shows how the other legacy carriers respond to Advantage Fares to the benefit of consumers:

Here, US Airways is the only airline to offer nonstop service, charging $685. Delta and United undercut that price by charging $375 and $395, respectively, for connecting service. Once again,

20

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 21 of 56

consumers benefit by having the option of far less expensive connecting service. A customer who buys a Delta one-stop flight saves $310 over US Airways’ nonstop service. 53. There are over 100 routes where other carriers offer nonstop service on which US

Airways does not offer Advantage Fares. Consumers in these markets are not given the option of a low-cost connecting alternative and are forced to pay significantly more for service. For example, US Airways does not currently offer Advantage Fares on flights from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh. Without the option of a low connecting fare, consumers see significantly higher prices, as illustrated by a screenshot from ITA, taken on August 12, 2013, for travel on August 13 and returning August 14:

. 54. Advantage Fares have proven highly disruptive to the industry’s overall coordinated

pricing dynamic. An American executive expressed her frustration in September 2011 with US Airways’ Advantage Fares, noting that US Airways was “still way undercutting us [on flights from Boston and New York to Dallas] and getting significant share.” One response American considered was to lower its fares on the same route. Another option was “to take up this battle w/them again,” in an attempt to force US Airways to limit or abandon its strategy. 55. US Airways’ President acknowledged in September 2010 that its Advantage Fare

strategy “would be different if we had a different route network . . . .” Currently, US Airways’ 21

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 22 of 56

network structure precludes Delta and United from preventing US Airways’ aggressive “onestop pricing.” Because US Airways’ hubs have relatively less nonstop traffic, the other legacy airlines cannot respond sufficiently to make Advantage Fares unprofitable. But by increasing the size and scope of US Airways’ network, the merger makes it likely that US Airways will have to discontinue its Advantage Fares. 56. American’s executives agree. American believes that Advantage Fares will be eliminated

because of the merger. Internal analysis at American in October 2012 concluded that “[t]he [Advantage Fares] program would have to be eliminated in a merger with American, as American’s large non-stop markets would now be susceptible to reactionary pricing from Delta and United.” Another American executive observed that same month: “The industry will force alignment to a single approach—one that aligns with the large legacy carriers as it is revenue maximizing.” 57. US Airways believes that it currently gains “most of its advantage fare value from AA,”

meaning that Advantage Fares provide substantial value for US Airways on routes where American is the legacy airline offering nonstop service. Post-merger, continuing Advantage Fares would mean that US Airways was taking that value away from itself by undercutting its own nonstop prices. Plainly, this would make no sense. Thus, for US Airways post-merger, the benefits of Advantage Fares would go down, and its costs would go up. 58. By ending Advantage Fares, the merger would eliminate lower fares for millions of

consumers. Last year, more than 2.5 million round-trip passengers—including more than 250,000 passengers from the greater Washington, D.C. area; another 250,000 passengers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area; half a million passengers in the greater New York City area; and 175,000 passengers from Detroit—bought an Advantage Fare ticket. Hundreds of thousands of

22

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 23 of 56

other passengers flying nonstop on US Airways, particularly from their hubs in Phoenix, Charlotte, and Philadelphia, benefited from responsive fares offered by the legacy airlines. 2. The Merger Would Likely Lead to Increased Industry-Wide “Capacity Discipline,” Resulting in Higher Fares and Less Service 59. Legacy airlines have taken advantage of increasing consolidation to exercise “capacity

discipline.” “Capacity discipline” has meant restraining growth or reducing established service. The planned merger would be a further step in that industry-wide effort. In theory, reducing unused capacity can be an efficient decision that allows a firm to reduce its costs, ultimately leading to lower consumer prices. In the airline industry, however, recent experience has shown that capacity discipline has resulted in fewer flights and higher fares. 60. Each significant legacy airline merger in recent years has been followed by substantial

reductions in service and capacity. These capacity reductions have not consisted simply of cancellation of empty planes or empty seats; rather, when airlines have cut capacity after a merger, the number of passengers they carry on the affected routes has also decreased. 61. US Airways has recognized that it benefitted from this industry consolidation and the

resulting capacity discipline. US Airways has long taken the position that the capacity cuts achieved through capacity discipline “enabled” fare increases and that “pricing power” results from “reduced industry capacity.” US Airways’ CEO explained to investors in 2006 that there is an “inextricable link” between removing seats and raising fares. 62. In 2005, America West—managed then by many of the same executives who currently

manage US Airways—merged with US Airways. America West had hubs in Phoenix and Las Vegas while the former US Airways had hubs in Pittsburgh, Charlotte, and Philadelphia. Following the merger, the combined firm reduced capacity, including significant cuts in Pittsburgh and Las Vegas. In 2010, the Chief Financial Officer for US Airways explained: 23

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 24 of 56

We believe in the hub system. I just think there’s too many hubs. If you look across the country, you can probably pick a few that are smaller hubs and maybe duplicative to other hubs that airlines have that they could probably get out of. In our example, we merged with US Airways [and] . . . what we have done over time, which is unfortunate for the cities, but we couldn’t hold a hub in Pittsburgh and we couldn’t hold a hub in Las Vegas. So over time we have consolidated and condensed our operation back, which is really important, condensed it back to our major hubs. A post-merger US Airways analysis confirmed that it succeeded in obtaining a “3% to 4% capacity reduction.” 63. In 2006, on the heels of the America West/US Airways merger, the combined firm

submitted an ultimately unsuccessful hostile bid for Delta Air Lines. US Airways’ management had concluded that a merged US Airways/Delta could reduce the combined carrier’s capacity by 10 percent, which would lead to higher revenues for the combined firm and for the industry. In 2007, following the rejection of the hostile bid, US Airways’ CEO explained to investors how the deal would have increased industry profits: It’s part of what we tried to impress upon people as we were going through our run at Delta, was that . . . it was good for US Airways [and] good for the entire industry. We’re going to take out 4% of the industry capacity as we did that. Everyone’s 2008 numbers would look a (expletive) of a lot better had that transaction happened . . . . 64. In 2008, Delta merged with Northwest Airlines. Despite promises to the contrary, the

combined airline reduced capacity, including significant cuts at its former hubs in Cincinnati and Memphis. US Airways’ CEO was “quite happy” to see the merger and advocated for further consolidation. He explained that an industry structure of “five different hub and spoke airlines with who knows how many hubs across the United States . . . results in all of us fighting for the same connecting passengers over numerous hubs.” Left unsaid was that fewer airlines meant less competition and higher fares.

24

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 25 of 56

65.

In May 2010, United Airlines and Continental Airlines announced their planned merger.

The announcement caused speculation about the future of each airline’s hubs, including Continental’s Cleveland hub. In Congressional testimony, an industry analyst stated that he did not believe the merger would cause reductions in Cleveland. On June 18, 2010, upon seeing the testimony, US Airways’ CEO wrote an email to other US Airways executives stating, “[s]urely these guys [United/Continental] aren’t really planning to keep Cleveland open. I’m hopeful they’re just saying what they need to (including to [the analyst]) to get this approved.” United and Continental closed their deal on October 1, 2010. The combined firm has reduced capacity at nearly all of its major hubs (including Cleveland) and at many other airports where the two airlines previously competed. Similarly, Southwest/AirTran has reduced service in a number of its focus cities and on many of AirTran’s former routes following its 2011 merger. 66. The defendants are fully aware of these earlier mergers’ effects. A 2012 American

Airlines analysis concluded that “following a merger, carriers tend to remove capacity or grow more slowly than the rest of the industry.” US Airways’ management concluded that although industry consolidation has been a success, as its CEO stated publicly in 2010, the industry had yet to hit its “sweet spot,” and additional consolidation was needed because the industry remained “overly fragmented.” 67. A merger with American would allow US Airways to hit the “sweet spot.” For

consumers, however, it would be anything but sweet. US Airways believes that merging with American “finishes industry evolution” by accomplishing US Airways’ goal of “reduc[ing] capacity more efficiently.” When first considering a combination with American, US Airways projected that the merged firm could reduce capacity by as much as 10 percent. Similarly, American expects that the merger will lead to capacity reductions that would negatively impact

25

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 26 of 56

“communities,” “people,” “customers,” and “suppliers.” Higher fares would be right around the corner. 3. The Planned Merger Would Likely Block American’s Standalone Expansion Plans, Thwarting Likely Capacity Increases 68. American does not need this merger to thrive, let alone survive. Before the

announcement of this merger, a key component of American’s standalone plan for exiting bankruptcy revolved around substantial expansion, including increases in both domestic and international flights. Thus, in 2011, American placed the largest order for new aircraft in the industry’s history. 69. US Airways executives feared that American’s standalone growth plan would disrupt the

industry’s capacity discipline “momentum.” In a 2012 internal presentation, US Airways executives recognized that while “[i]ndustry mergers and capacity discipline expand margins,” American’s standalone “growth plan has potential to disrupt the new dynamic” and would “Reverse Industry Capacity Trends.” Moreover, US Airways believed that if American implemented its growth plans, other airlines would “react to AMRs plans with their own enhanced growth plans destabilizing industry.” US Airways believed that American’s standalone capacity growth would “negatively impact” industry revenues and threaten industry pricing. 70. US Airways thought that a merger with American was a “lower risk alternative” than

letting American’s standalone plan come to fruition because US Airways management could maintain capacity discipline. American’s executives have observed that “the combined network would likely need to be rationalized,” especially given the merged carrier’s numerous hubs, and that it is “unlikely that [a combined US Airways/American] would pursue growth . . . .”

26

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 27 of 56

4. The Merger Would Likely Result in Higher Fees 71. Since 2008, the airline industry has increasingly charged consumers fees for services that

were previously included in the price of a ticket. These so-called ancillary fees, including those for checked bags and flight changes, have become very profitable. In 2012 alone, airlines generated over $6 billion in fees for checked bags and flight changes. Even a small increase in these fees would cost consumers millions. 72. Increased consolidation has likely aided the implementation of these fees. The levels of

the ancillary fees charged by the legacy carriers have been largely set in lockstep. One airline acts as the “price leader,” with others following soon after. Using this process, as a US Airways strategic plan observed, the airlines can raise their fees without suffering “market share impacts.” For example, American announced that it would charge for a first checked bag on May 21, 2008. On June 12, 2008, both United and US Airways followed American’s lead. Similarly, over a period of just two weeks this spring, all four legacy airlines increased their ticket change fee for domestic travel from $150 to $200. 73. The legacy airlines recognize that the success of any individual attempt to impose a new

fee or fee increase depends on whether the other legacies follow suit. When, in July 2009, American matched the other legacy carriers by raising its checked bag fee to $20, but did not join the others in offering a $5 web discount, US Airways was faced with the decision of whether to “match” American by either eliminating its own web discount, or raising its price to $25, with a $5 discount. US Airways’ CEO gave his view: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think we should stand still on this for now. I recognize that increases the chances of everyone standing still . . . the [dollars] aren’t compelling enough for us to stick our necks out first. I do think D[elta] or U[nited] won’t let them have an advantage, so it’ll get matched – I’m just not sure we should go first. If a couple weeks go by and no one’s moved, we can always jump in. 27

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 28 of 56

74.

Similarly, when US Airways was considering whether to raise its second checked bag fee

to $100 to match Delta’s fee, a US Airways executive observed: “Wow - $100 is a lot for second bag. I would think there’s big passenger gag reflex associated with that, but if we can get it, we should charge it. Do you think we should wait for [United] or [American] to move first, though?” 75. Conversely, in 2008, when US Airways began charging passengers for soft drinks, the

other legacy airlines did not follow its lead, and US Airways backed off. US Airways’ CEO explained: “With US Airways being the only network carrier to charge for drinks, we are at a disadvantage.” Had US Airways not rescinded this fee, it would have lost passengers to the other legacy airlines. 76. At times, the airlines consider new fees or fee increases, but hold off implementing them

while they wait to see if other airlines will move first. For example, on April 18, United announced that it was increasing its ticket change fee from $150 to $200. American decided that “waiting for [Delta] and then moving to match if [Delta] comes along” would be its best strategy. Over the next two weeks, US Airways, Delta, and American each fell in line, leading a US Airways executive to observe on May 1: “A[merican] increased their change fees this morning. The network carriers now have the same $200 domestic . . . change fees.” 77. Post-merger, the new American would likely lead new fee increases. A December 2012

discussion between US Airways executives included the observation that after the merger, “even as the world’s largest airline we’d want to consider raising some of the baggage fees a few dollars in some of the leisure markets.” 78. New checked bag fees on flights from the United States to Europe are a likely target.

Both US Airways and American have considered imposing a first checked bag fee on flights to 28

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 29 of 56

Europe but have refrained from doing so. US Airways seriously considered leading such a price move but was concerned that other airlines would not match: “We would hope that [other airlines] would follow us right away . . . but there is no guarantee . . . .” Ultimately, US Airways concluded it was “too small” to lead additional checked bag fees for flights to Europe. Postmerger, that would no longer be true. The merged firm would be the world’s largest airline, giving it sufficient size to lead industry fee and price increases across the board. 79. Some fee increases are likely to result from US Airways raising American’s existing fees.

Today, “US Airways generally charges higher bag fees than AA” for travel from the United States to international destinations. Post-merger, US Airways would likely raise American’s ancillary fees to US Airways’ higher fee levels as part of a “fee harmonization” process. US Airways’ own documents estimate that “fee harmonization” would generate an additional $280 million in revenue annually—directly harming consumers by the same amount. A US Airways presentation from earlier this year analyzing the merger identifies American’s lower bag fees as a “value lever” that US Airways “will likely manage differently with tangible financial upside.” The analysis concludes that “[i]ncreasing AA baggage fees to match US creates significant revenue impact.” US Airways also plans to institute its fees ($40 on average) for the redemption of frequent flyer tickets on American’s existing frequent fliers, who currently are not charged for mileage redemption. 80. The merger would also likely reduce the quality and variety of ancillary services offered

by the legacy airlines—a side effect of consolidation anticipated and embraced by US Airways’ CEO. In a 2011 email exchange lamenting the need for US Airways to deploy wireless internet on all of its airplanes, a senior US Airways executive groused:

29

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 30 of 56

[N]ext it will be more legroom. Then industry standard labor contracts. Then better wines. Then the ability to book on Facebook. Penultimately, television commercials. Then, finally, we will pay the NYSE an exorbitant fee to change our ticker symbol [from LCC]. US Airways’ CEO responded: “Easy now. Consolidation will help stop much of the stupid stuff but inflight internet is not one of them.” 81. If the planned merger is enjoined, both American and US Airways will have to compete

against two larger legacy rivals, and against each other. The four legacy airlines will not look exactly the same. As the smallest of the legacy airlines, American and US Airways will have greater incentives to grow and compete aggressively through lower ancillary fees, new services, and lower fares. D. The Merger Would Eliminate Head-to-Head Competition in Hundreds of Relevant Markets and Entrench US Airways’ Dominance at Reagan National Airport 82. American and US Airways engage in head-to-head competition with nonstop service on

17 domestic routes representing about $2 billion in annual industry-wide revenues. American and US Airways also compete directly on more than a thousand routes where one or both offer connecting service, representing billions of dollars in annual revenues. The merger’s elimination of this head-to-head competition would create strong incentives for the merged airline to reduce capacity and raise fares where they previously competed. 83. The combined firm would control 69% of the slots at Reagan National Airport, almost six

times more than its closest competitor. This would eliminate head-to-head competition at the airport between American and US Airways. It would also effectively foreclose entry or expansion by other airlines that might increase competition at Reagan National. 84. The need for slots is a substantial barrier to entry at Reagan National. The FAA has

occasionally provided a limited number of slots for new service. In almost all cases, however, a 30

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 31 of 56

carrier wishing to begin or expand service at Reagan National must buy or lease slots from an airline that already owns them. 85. This merger would thwart any prospect for future entry or expansion at Reagan National.

US Airways, which already has 55% of the airport’s slots, does not sell or lease them because any slot that goes to another airline will almost certainly be used to compete with US Airways. The merger would only increase US Airways’ incentives to hoard its slots. Today, US Airways provides nonstop service to 71 airports from Reagan National, and it faces no nonstop competitors on 55 of those routes. After this merger, the number of US Airways routes with no nonstop competition would increase to 59, leaving, at best, only 21 routes at the entire airport with more than one nonstop competitor. Unsurprisingly, Reagan National is US Airways’ second most-profitable airport. 86. Potential entrants would likely not be able to turn to other airlines to obtain slots. When

allocating their slots, airlines prioritize their most profitable routes, typically those where they have a frequent, significant pattern of service. If a carrier has a small portfolio of slots, it is likely to allocate almost all of its slots to its most profitable routes. If it has additional slots beyond what is needed to serve those routes, a carrier will then work its way down to other routes or sell or lease those slots to other airlines. Over the last several years, US Airways has purchased nearly all of the slots that might otherwise be available to interested buyers. Thus, before this planned merger, American was the only airline at Reagan National with the practical ability to sell or lease additional slots. 87. In March 2010, American and JetBlue entered into an arrangement in which JetBlue

traded slots at New York’s JFK International Airport to American in exchange for American trading slots at Reagan National to JetBlue. And until American reached agreement with

31

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 32 of 56

US Airways to merge, it had been negotiating to sell those slots and ten other Reagan National slots to JetBlue. 88. JetBlue’s entry on four routes, particularly Reagan National to Boston, has generated stiff

price competition. Fares on the route have dropped dramatically. US Airways estimated that after JetBlue’s entry, the last-minute fare for travel between Reagan National and Boston dropped by over $700. The combined firm will have the right to terminate the JetBlue leases and thereby eliminate, or at least diminish, JetBlue as a competitor on some or all of these routes. 89. The merger would also eliminate the potential for future head-to-head competition

between US Airways and American on flights at Reagan National. In 2011, US Airways planned to start service from Reagan National to Miami and St. Louis, which would directly compete with American’s existing service. US Airways argued to the Department of Transportation that this new competition would “substantial[ly] benefit[]” consumers, and so asked DOT to approve the purchase of slots from Delta that would make the service possible. DOT ultimately approved that purchase. When it developed its plan to merge with American, however, US Airways abandoned its plans to enter those markets and deprived consumers of the “substantial benefits” it had promised. 90. By acquiring American’s slot portfolio, US Airways would eliminate existing and future

head-to-head competition, and effectively block other airlines’ competitive entry or expansion. VI. 91. ABSENCE OF COUNTERVAILING FACTORS New entry, or expansion by existing competitors, is unlikely to prevent or remedy the

merger’s likely anticompetitive effects. New entrants into a particular market face significant barriers to success, including difficulty in obtaining access to slots and gate facilities; the effects of corporate discount programs offered by dominant incumbents; loyalty to existing frequent

32

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 33 of 56

flyer programs; an unknown brand; and the risk of aggressive responses to new entry by the dominant incumbent carrier. In addition, entry is highly unlikely on routes where the origin or destination airport is another airline’s hub, because the new entrant would face substantial challenges attracting sufficient local passengers to support service. 92. United and Delta are unlikely to expand in the event of anticompetitive price increases or

capacity reductions by the merged airline. Indeed, those carriers are likely to benefit from and participate in such conduct by coordinating with the merged firm. 93. The remaining airlines in the United States, including Southwest and JetBlue, have

networks and business models that are significantly different from the legacy airlines. In particular, most do not have hub-and-spoke networks. In many relevant markets, these airlines do not offer any service at all, and in other markets, many passengers view them as a less preferred alternative to the legacy carriers. Therefore, competition from Southwest, JetBlue, or other airlines would not be sufficient to prevent the anticompetitive consequences of the merger. 94. There are not sufficient acquisition-specific and cognizable efficiencies that would be

passed through to U.S. consumers to rebut the presumption that competition and consumers would likely be harmed by this merger. VII. 95. VIOLATION ALLEGED The effect of the proposed merger, if approved, likely will be to lessen competition

substantially, or tend to create a monopoly, in interstate trade and commerce in the relevant markets, in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18. 96. Unless enjoined, the proposed merger likely would have the following effects in the

relevant markets, among others:

33

Case 1:13-cv-01236 Document 1 Filed 08/13/13 Page 34 of 56

(a)

actual and potential competition between US Airways and American Airlines

would be eliminated; (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) competition in general among network airlines would be lessened substantially; ticket prices and ancillary fees would be higher than they otherwise would; industry capacity would be lower than it otherwise would; service would be lessened; and the availability of slots at Reagan National would be significantly impaired.

VIII. REQUEST FOR RELIEF 97. Plaintiffs request: (a) that US Airways’ proposed merger with American Airlines be adjudged to violate

Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18; (b) that Defendants be permanently enjoined from and restrained from carrying out

the planned merger of US Airways and American or any other transaction that would combine the two companies; (c) that Plaintiffs be awarded their costs of this action, including attorneys’ fees to

Plaintiff States; and (d) that Plaintiffs be awarded such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper.
