Delta Air Lines, a major American airline, is currently involved in ongoing antitrust litigation. The case, which began in July 2015, involves allegations that Delta, along with American, United, and Southwest airlines, conspired to restrain capacity, potentially violating antitrust laws. These allegations followed investigative demands from the U.S. Department of Justice, which sought documents related to the matter. The lawsuits have since been consolidated into a Multi-District Litigation in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. In a recent development, the Court denied the defendants' motions for summary judgment in August 2023, a decision that had been pending for over two years. Delta Air Lines has taken steps to appeal this decision or seek reconsideration, with the briefing process now complete. The company maintains that the claims are without merit and is actively defending against the lawsuits.
