US Airways Group, Inc. Research Report

On August 13, 2013, US Airways Group, Inc. (US Airways) and AMR Corporation reported their intention to escalate a defense against the US Department of Justice's effort to impede their proposed merger. US Airways released an official statement which stated, "We believe that the DOJ is wrong in its assessment of our merger. Integrating the complementary networks of American and US Airways to benefit passengers is the motivation for bringing these airlines together. Blocking this procompetitive merger will deny customers access to a broader airline network that gives them more choices. Further, this merger provides the best outcome for AMR's restructuring. The widespread support from the employees and financial stakeholders of both airlines underscores the fact that this is the best path forward for both airlines and the customers and communities we serve. We will mount a vigorous defense and pursue all legal options in order to achieve this merger and deliver the benefits of the new American to our customers and communities as soon as possible."
