DOT DISMISSES DELTA AND WESTJET APPLICATION FOR ANTITRUST IMMUNITY
January 27, 2021
On December 17, 2020, DOT issued an order, available here, dismissing Delta and WestJet’s application for antitrust immunity. After Delta Air Lines and WestJet jointly filed an objection to DOT’s Show Cause order on November 20, 2020, objecting to the conditions DOT placed on the tentative grant of approval on the grounds that the conditions were arbitrary and capricious, unreasonable, and unacceptable, Delta and WestJet requested that the application be withdrawn and asked DOT to dismiss the proceeding and close out the docket. Based on Delta and WestJet’s request, DOT dismissed the proceeding.
