American Airlines firmly rejected merger discussions with United Airlines on April 17, stating it is not engaged or interested, as such a combination of the two largest U.S. carriers would harm competition and consumers, even amid a potentially business-friendly Trump administration. Reports earlier that week revealed United CEO Scott Kirby had floated the idea to Trump officials in February during talks on Washington Dulles upgrades, sparking brief speculation. However, antitrust experts highlight insurmountable DOJ barriers—likening it to merging Coke and Pepsi—given the airlines' dominance in routes and capacity, reinforced by recent FTC and DOJ blocks on smaller deals like JetBlue-Spirit. Trader consensus at 91% "No" reflects American's outright denial and regulatory realities, with no scheduled events likely to shift odds before year-end resolution.

Oui
Mergers or acquisitions involving United Airlines, Inc. or its parent company, United Airlines Holdings, Inc., and American Airlines, Inc. or its parent company, American Airlines Group Inc., will qualify.
An announcement by American Airlines or United Airlines within this market's timeframe will qualify for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether or when the announced acquisition/merger actually occurs.
Announcements of partial sales may count, as long as the acquiring company acquires a controlling interest in the other company. A “controlling interest” refers to a change in ownership sufficient to control the company’s strategic decisions (typically more than 50% of equity, or equivalent control via voting and governance rights). Transactions or investments that do not result in a transfer of controlling interest will not count.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from United Airlines and American Airlines; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
