Passengers who are prepared to change planes once or twice to get to their destinations have lots of choice, but on transatlantic routes between hubs there are often only one or two carriers to choose from. This lack of competition is partly the result of collusion sanctioned by regulators. On transatlantic routes members within each of the world's three big alliances--Star, oneworld and SkyTeam--share costs and agree on prices. They are spreading their tentacles around the world. America's Department of Transportation (DoT), which has some antitrust powers, has not only given its blessing to the rise of alliances, but actually requires airlines to collude fully within each of their groupings, and to share costs and agree on prices. America's main antitrust regulator, the Department of Justice (DoJ), is rightly sceptical of the notion that collusion benefits consumers. It objected to the creation and expansion of the three transatlantic cartels, only to be ignored by the DoT, which it cannot overrule on such matters.
