 Public Comments of the Department of Justice
The question before the DOT is not whether to condemn a substantial expansion of the SkyTeam alliance, as the application implies, but rather whether antitrust immunity is necessary to that expansion.
The alliance combined largely end-to-end networks; at the time they formed their alliance, the only significant overlaps between Northwest and KLM involved block-space service on two gateway-to-gateway routes to Amsterdam.
Although the two alliances competed in a number of transatlantic city pairs, most of those city pairs had substantial actual or likely potential competition from other carriers or alliances, which was deemed sufficient to protect the interests of consumers.

 Competitors Eye DOT SkyTeam Alliance Antitrust Ruling   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Prompted by a U.S. Department of Justice filing in opposition to the proposed six-carrier antitrust immunity requested by the SkyTeam alliance, American, United and US Airways in recent weeks submitted filings that suggested the outcome—either for or against SkyTeam—would shape the competitive landscape of the aviation industry.
The first would be to decide which of the two would forego immunity but remain an active member of the SkyTeam alliance and, among other things, continue to share codes and "participate in joint alliance discount offers to corporate customers." Such is the case with US Airways, a non-immunized member of the Star Alliance.
SkyTeam reiterated immunity is needed to preserve the benefit of ties between Northwest and KLM and between Delta, Air France, Alitalia and CSA Czech.
