The Biden administration is launching a public inquiry into competition in the air travel market, with a focus on preventing airline consolidation and enhancing customer protections. The Department of Justice has already blocked JetBlue's acquisition of Spirit Airlines and is scrutinizing major airlines' loyalty programs. The move comes as part of a broader effort to ensure competition and affordability in air travel, with public comments being sought until December 23. Critics, however, suggest the inquiry is politically motivated given its timing before the November elections.
