Or, to be more accurate, the Business Travel Coalition says that travelers should prefer American Airlines, not Delta Airlines, invest in Japan Airlines. American reportedly just added several hundred millions to its bid, increasing the offer to about $1.4 billion.
The coalition says that fares would increase if Delta wins out because the number of major airline alliances would effectively be decreased from three to two. The lobbying group also thinks that regulators wouldn’t approve any Delta-JAL anyway.
