Court clears American Airlines purchases
Court clears American Airlines purchases Updated: 13:58, Friday January 25, 2013 A US bankruptcy court has given its green light to AMR Corporation, parent company of bankrupt airline American Airlines, to purchase new aeroplanes from Airbus and Boeing.
Consumers paid more than $9.2 billion in fees to US airlines in 2010 for checked baggage and other services, but these fees were hidden from most travellers when they purchased their airline tickets, because the airlines refuse to share their fee information with travel agents and other distributors, according to a new study by the Consumer Travel Alliance.
