the DOT Agreement recognized that the
alliance was still subject to the antitrust
laws, that DOJ was continuing its
review, and that DOT retained its
authority to remedy any competitive
harm.
Spirit Airlines Formal Complaint
On January 7, 2021, prior to execution
and public release of the DOT
Agreement, Spirit filed a formal
complaint with DOT that was docketed
in DOT–OST–2021–0001. In its
complaint, Spirit requested an on-therecord investigation of the NEA to
determine whether the NEA’s
implementation would constitute an
unfair method of competition in
violation of 49 U.S.C. 41712(a).6 Spirit
also asserted that insufficient
information about the NEA was made
public during the Department’s review,
and that the remedies agreed to in the
DOT Agreement were insufficient to
address anticompetitive concerns.
Several entities, including other
airlines, an airline association, a
consumer advocacy organization, and a
non-profit organization focused on
competition, submitted comments
supporting various aspects of Spirit’s
complaint.7 Those comments were filed
after the public release of the DOT
Agreement. American and JetBlue filed
answers opposing Spirit’s complaint.

DOJ Litigation
On September 21, 2021, after
completing an extended review of the
NEA, DOJ announced its determination
that the NEA violates the antitrust laws
from exercising those authorities, including but not
limited to investigation and enforcement regarding:
(1) Potentially unfair or deceptive practices; (2)
potentially exclusionary practices; [or] (3)
acquisition or operation of additional slots or gates
not currently held by American or JetBlue.’’
6 The Department’s authority to address
competition concerns is separate and distinct from
that of DOJ, covering a different scope of
anticompetitive conduct than DOJ’s authority.
Under 49 U.S.C. 41712, the Department has
authority to investigate and decide whether a
carrier has been or is engaging in an unfair method
of competition in air transportation. The
Department prohibits anticompetitive conduct that
(1) violates the antitrust laws, (2) is not yet serious
enough to violate the antitrust laws but may well
do so if left unchecked, or (3) although not a
violation of the letter of the antitrust laws, is close
to a violation or is contrary to their spirit. See, e.g.,
ASTA v. United et al., DOT Order 2002–9–2 (Sep.
4, 2002), citing E.I. Du Pont de Nemours and Co.
v. Federal Trade Commission, 729 F.2d 128, 136–
137 (2d Cir. 1984). E.I.Du Pont de Nemours
interpreted the Federal Trade Commission’s
authority under 15. U.S.C. 45, upon which 49
U.S.C. 41712 is based.
7 The organizations included the National Air
Carrier Association, Southwest Airlines, United
Airlines, Travelers United, the American Antitrust
Institute, Airports Council International—North
America, and the Service Employees International
Union.

and that the agency has initiated action
to enjoin the agreements. DOJ has
shared with the Department its
significant concerns with respect to the
effect of the NEA on competition. The
Department notes that the DOT
Agreement does not, nor was it intended
to, wholly address these concerns. The
Department will work closely with DOJ
should it seek data and documents that
will help in the resolution of DOJ’s
action.
Because of the DOJ action, and to
avoid duplicative or inconsistent
proceedings, DOT is separately staying
the proceedings in the Spirit formal
complaint while the DOJ action is
unresolved. Although the DOT
Agreement remains in effect, the
Department will continue coordinating
with DOJ. The Department notes its own
statutory authority to investigate and
prohibit anticompetitive conduct if the
situation warrants. However, the
Department intends to defer to DOJ, as
the primary enforcer of Federal antitrust
laws, to resolve antitrust concerns with
respect to the NEA. The Department
believes that it would be inefficient and
unhelpful to have two concurrent
proceedings and therefore intends to
defer any independent action until the
DOJ antitrust litigation has concluded.
Issued this 21st Day of September, 2021, in
Washington, DC.
John E. Putnam,
Acting General Counsel.
