Investing.com -- Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal has raised concerns about the proposed "Blue Sky" partnership between United Airlines and JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU), warning it could potentially harm competition and result in fewer, more expensive options for travelers.
In a letter addressed to United CEO Scott Kirby (NYSE:KEX) and JetBlue CEO Joanna Geraghty, Blumenthal requested information about the partnership, which would allow customers to book flights on both carriers’ websites and interchangeably earn and use points in their frequent flyer programs.
The senator asked the airlines to disclose records related to the partnership and their future plans. He expressed particular concern about any deal "that may harm full and fair airline competition and lead to fewer and more expensive options for travelers, particularly in the New York City area."
