Memo: Antitrust: Commission confirms sending Statement of Objections to three members of oneworld airline alliance

The European Commission confirmed that in September 2009 it sent a Statement of Objections to British Airways, American Airlines and Iberia, members of the oneworld airline alliance, in relation to their proposed cooperation on passenger air transport services on transatlantic routes which the Commission considered may be in breach of European rules on restrictive business practices (Article 81 of the EC Treaty and Article 53 of the EEA Agreement). The Commission opened formal proceeding in April 2009.
