  • For these reasons, we strongly disagree with the court’s ruling against the NEA and stand behind the procompetitive impact of the alliance.
  • The NEA is a complex partnership with many thousands of customers who have already booked travel in the months ahead.
  • For customers, it’s important to note that nothing will change immediately and they can feel confident in new and existing bookings for the coming months.
