Biggest airline merger in years passes 'significant milestone'
Briefly

Alaska Airlines' acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines reached a 'significant milestone' as the Justice Department decided not to challenge it, easing antitrust concerns.
This decision comes after the DOJ successfully blocked other airline mergers, indicating a nuanced approach to competition in the U.S. airline industry.
The DOJ found no significant competition stifling from the Alaska-Hawaiian deal, unlike previous instances where they imposed conditions to mitigate market control.
The Alaska-Hawaiian merger underscores a changing landscape within the airline industry as airlines seek to expand their market reach without triggering regulatory pushback.
