Monday, January 11, 2010 The Business Travel Coalition, a group on behalf of business travelers is conflicting the planned tie up between Delta Air Lines and ailing Japan Airlines as unpleasant for competition. Kevin Mitchell, chairman of the Business Travel Coalition, based in Brussels, stated that the projected SkyTeam alliance would probably create a monopoly, totaling 62 percent market share on routes connecting Japan and the U.S, up from a third. The group representing 300 global corporations suggests that Japan Airlines Corp. should remain in its alliance called oneworld with American Airlines. Kevin Mitchell also uttered doubts a Delta-JAL tie-up might clear U.S. antitrust regulations. Kevin Mitchell said his group has sent a letter to Seiji Maehara, Japan's transport minister, conveying such views, and also made a copy available to the media.In the letter, the group stressed the significance of Japan-U.S. air routes, with 6.3 million travelers a year, and warned a Delta-JAL tie-up would be too dominant. The letter conveyed that JAL lingering in the oneworld alliance with American Airlines is evidently best for competition and consumer choice. Delta has expressed assurance that in case it forms a union with Japan Airlines the tie-up will get consent from regulators. American has constantly challenged that claim .

Thursday, August 13, 2009 The flights recently launched by Delta Air Lines to Sydney,Australia have turned out to be famous with travelers , who are pleased about the additional choice in nonstop service and bargain basement fares which is as low as $600 roundtrip from Los Angeles.Delta Air Lines is facing solid competition from rival United Airlines. United lately affirmed that it would match any low fare offered by its new-found competitors across the Pacific. In the past, United Airlines only contended with Qantas Airlines of Australia in the clash for market share.James Mueller ,Vice President Pacific region for United Airlines stated that United is strong-minded to match the initiatives of its competitiors and if required , we are even prepared to compete on prices.The latest flood of seats on the popular LAX-Sydney route is inspiring traffic, but not the kind that airlines dream about to enhance profits as the general business traffic is reasonably down. posted by iflybusiness
