Transportation Sec. Duffy: There's room for airline mergers in the U.S.

Published | Video Starts at 04:32

What if they go up to 30%, 35%? Would you be okay with that? Again, we have to look at it at a case by case basis. And again, if, If there was a merger between some of the larger airlines, they're going to have to peel off some of their assets. Right. We don't want to have, you know, this massive infrastructure with one airline in America. Again, I think that will affect pricing in the long run because there'd be a lack of competition, which we love competition. (04:32–04:38)

CLAIM
