In 2022, JetBlue Airways made a deal with Spirit Airlines for $3.8 billion that could increase competition at the top end of the U.S. airline industry while eliminating the largest discount airline for travelers on a tight budget.

Several states have joined the U.S. Justice Department to stop the merger. They claim the deal would reduce competition and drive up air fares for consumers.

The merger would make JetBlue and Spirit the fifth-largest U.S. carrier, with about 9% of the market.
