» European Commission Approves Pending American-US Airways Merger

Today, American and US Airways announced the two carriers have received clearance from the European Commission under the EC Merger Regulation for our proposed merger. With this approval, we are one step closer to the completion of

our merger with US Airways and our future as a premier global carrier. In its review of our pending merger, the European Commission cited competitive concerns related to the London Heathrow (LHR)-Philadelphia (PHL) route. As a result, US Airways will release one slot at LHR, and we are taking steps to foster competition on the route. Despite the slot release, our combined network will continue to provide significant options for traveling to London and the rest of Europe through our hubs and other key airports. Find out more in the news release in American’s Newsroom.

American Debuts E-175 at O’Hare

American debuted its new Embraer 175 at Chicago O’Hare on Aug. 1. The 76-seat regional jet is part of the one world alliance member’s strategy to “right-size” the aircraft in its fleet, said Charles Shubert, Vice President – Network Planning at American – something that it hopes to achieve with the E-175s as well as new Airbus A319s and A321s that it has on order. The aircraft will allow American to better optimize its domestic schedules by increasing the number of large regional jets in its fleet and providing it with a variant between its 65-seat Bombardier CRJ700s and 128-seat A319s, the latter of which enters service on Sept. 16. “We wanted to try to close the gap as best we could, as quick as we could,” says Schubert on American’s decision to contract Republic Airlines to fly the E-175s under a 12-year capacity purchase agreement. Republic Airlines, which already operates the E-175s for Delta and US Airways, acquired and placed the type into service with American branded with the new American Eagle livery. American and Republic announced the order for 47 aircraft in January. American launched service on the E-175s to Albuquerque, N.M., New Orleans and Pittsburgh from O’Hare.

British Airways Parent IAG Wins Favor as Revamp Beats Lufthansa

British Airways parent IAG won investors’ praise for the speed it’s applying to the turnaround at its Iberia unit, contrasting with the cool reception Lufthansa received for its own efforts. IAG reported operating profit of 245 million euros ($324 million) for the second quarter, compared with a 4 million-euro loss a year earlier, helped by a lower deficit at Iberia that broke a negative trend at the Spanish airline had lasted 11 quarters. At Lufthansa, reported operating profit fell 27 percent to 431 million euros on stagnant sales of 7.89 billion euros. IAG, Europe’s third-largest airline group, said passenger revenue per available seat kilometer rose 2.8 percent in the first six months, while Lufthansa reported a 1 percent decline. In the second quarter, yields at Lufthansa declined 2.5 percent, after rising 0.9 percent in the first, and 3 percent in the fourth quarter last year. British Airways also has changed pricing at some flights out of London Gatwick airport to fend of low-fare rivals.
