Consultation description

The CMA invites views on the commitments offered by American Airlines; subsidiaries of International Consolidated Airlines Group: British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus; and Finnair to address the CMA’s competition concerns in the context of its investigation into the Atlantic Joint Business Agreement under the Competition Act 1998. The CMA investigation relates to the impact of this agreement on competition and customers on key UK-US routes.

The CMA provisionally considers that the proposed commitments address the competition concerns identified by the CMA for the reasons set out in the Notice of Intention to Accept Commitments. Therefore, subject to consultation responses, the CMA proposes to accept the proposed commitments.

Any person wishing to comment on the commitments should submit written representations by email to AJB-Response@cma.gov.uk by 5pm, 23 April 2025.
