WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Justice Department opposes Continental Airlines Inc.'s broad request for antitrust immunity to work more closely with United Airlines and other carriers on international service.
The department says the airlines should get more limited immunity. It argues that broader immunity could hurt competition on other routes including between the U.S. and China and even raise fares within the United States.
