European competition officials have voiced concern about plans by British Airways, American Airlines and Spain’s Iberia to intensify their co-operation on trans-Atlantic routes.
The European Commission delivered its first volley with a so-called statement of objections that includes a focus on routes where the three carriers have a large share of premium passengers, according to a person familiar with the situation. BA and American have twice tried and failed to secure anti-trust immunity to co-ordinate fares and schedules across the Atlantic as part of their Oneworld alliance, which also includes Iberia.
