Antitrust proceedings over computerized fare information
The U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division identified more than 50 alleged price-fixing agreements involving ATPCO and six airlines across hundreds of routes. The resulting consent-decree and proposed Final Judgment addressed how fare changes could be submitted and displayed through computerized systems. The judgment expired in 2004, while its core operating principles reportedly remained incorporated into ATPCO’s systems.
