domestic Airlines Settlement

If you or your business purchased Air Passenger Transportation Services for flights within the United States or its territories from July 1, 2011 through June 14, 2018, you may be entitled to participate in the $60 MILLION recovered thus far in class action settlements

Settlement: $60,000,000

Class Period

July 1, 2011 through June 14, 2018

Class Members

All persons or entities (excluding governmental entities) who or which purchased “Air Passenger Transportation Services” for flights within the United States and its territories and the District of Columbia from the “Defendants” (listed below) or any predecessor, subsidiary or affiliate thereof (including US Airways and Continental Airlines), at any time from July 1, 2011 through June 14, 2018.

Defendants

American Airlines, Inc. (or its predecessor, U.S. Airways Group) (“American”)

  • Southwest Airlines Co. (“Southwest”)
  • United Airlines, Inc. (“United”)
  • Delta Airlines, Inc. (“Delta”)

Background

    Several lawsuits were filed alleging that the Defendants participated in a conspiracy to fix, raise, maintain and/or stabilize the prices of Air Passenger Transportation Services within the United States and its territories in violation of federal antitrust laws. 

    The class has now entered into settlements with Southwest ($15 million) and American ($45 million) in the aggregate amount of $60 million. The Southwest settlement (the class period ends on December 20, 2017 for the Southwest settlement) and American settlement received final approval at this time. The litigation is ongoing against United and Delta so it is possible that additional funds may become available to the class if any additional settlements are reached.
