Fresh partnership talks between American Airlines and JetBlue have collapsed, with the companies now heading for the courts.<\/p>\n

American filed a lawsuit against JetBlue on Monday with a business court in Texas. The carrier said it is seeking over $1 million in damages for the loss of the Northeast Alliance, according to a court filing. <\/p>\n

In the lawsuit, American argues that JetBlue had refused to pay its final invoice per a revenue sharing agreement between the two companies. American said in the filing that those payments were due in January 2024. <\/p>\n

In May 2023, a federal district court judge struck down the deal on the grounds that it was anticompetitive. The NEA saw the carriers work together to better compete against United Airlines and Delta Air Lines in the all-important New York and Boston markets.<\/p>\n

American had sought to overturn the district court’s decision, bringing the case all the way up to the Supreme Court. However, JetBlue had not joined American in these efforts. <\/p>\n

On Monday evening, American took the unusual step of sharing in full<\/a> a letter from its chief strategy officer, Steve Johnson. <\/p>\n

In the message sent to staff on Monday, Johnson confirmed that legal proceedings against JetBlue are underway: \u201cOne final note, in case you see it in the news. We filed a lawsuit against JetBlue today to recover money owed to American following the unwinding of the Northeast Alliance,\u201d Johnson\u2019s letter said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understandably tabled this claim while we were in discussions with JetBlue, but now that those conversations have concluded, we need to address the accounting and reconciliation following the termination of the NEA,\u201d the letter continued.<\/p>\n

What Else Did American Say?<\/h2>\n

Johnson\u2019s letter offers valuable new insight into American\u2019s interest in a JetBlue partnership: \u201cAlthough we proposed a very attractive proposition to JetBlue and its customers and team, it became clear over time that JetBlue was focused on different business priorities.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johnson said the businesses were \u201cunable to agree on a construct that preserved the benefits of the partnership we envisioned, made sense operationally or financially, or was consistent with the travel rewards and co-branded card business objectives that are so important to our strategy and our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that despite the collapse in talks with JetBlue, American remains \u201cintently focused on and are competing aggressively in New York and Boston.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an emailed statement provided to Reuters<\/a>, a JetBlue spokesperson said: “We plan to review American’s complaint, and as this is pending litigation, we cannot comment further at this time.”<\/p>\n

JetBlue Seeking New Partnership<\/h2>\n

It is a matter of public record that JetBlue has been in discussion with other airlines, however, the companies involved were unknown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

United said in a filing in January that it was not in talks with any airline about a merger or a partnership, which was an attempt to shut down rumors that the Chicago-based carrier was interested in merging with JetBlue or purchasing some of its assets. <\/p>\n

Speaking at the Barclays Industrials Conference in February, JetBlue president Marty St. George said the carrier was in talks with “multiple airlines\u201d about a partnership. \u201cWe have said we’re talking to multiple airlines\u2026 We’re still talking.\u201d<\/p>\n
