US Department of Justice Approves Allegiant and Sun Country Merger
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has officially cleared the proposed merger between Allegiant Air and Sun Country Airlines. This approval removes a significant regulatory hurdle for the two ultra-low-cost carriers. The DOJ's Antitrust Division concluded that the combination would not substantially lessen competition in the domestic market. The deal aims to create a stronger, more competitive airline with an expanded route network. The merger now moves forward, pending final approval from other relevant authorities like the Department of Transportation.
