Four specialists in antitrust law are lending support to those in favour of legislation to decrease the use of Dallas Love Field Airport and maintain its ban on longer flights.
The move attempts to discount claims that the proposal violates antitrust laws.
Letters were sent last week to congressional leaders by the four experts, who reportedly include two previous members of the Federal Trade Commission, stating that the restrictions are part of a necessary compromise to end the dispute over Love Field, The Associated Press reported.
Officials of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport released a copy of the letter on Tuesday (12 September). It was signed by Thomas B. Leary and Christine Varney, two former members of the FTC, and antitrust lawyers Harry M. Reasoner and Janet L. McDavid.
The proposed bill would eventually repeal a 1979 law known as the Wright Amendment.
