U.S. government seeks to block American-US Airways merger
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Justice Department and attorneys general from six states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging the $11 billion merger of American Airlines and US Airways, saying the combination would lead to higher prices and less service for consumers.The merger, which would create the world's largest airline, would "substantially lessen competition" for commercial air travel, contends the complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington.The carriers said in a joint statement that they would mount a "vigorous and strong defense" of their deal and pursue all legal options to move it forward."We believe that the DOJ is wrong in its assessment of our merger.

Southwest jet hit runway nose first, investigators say
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Southwest Airlines jet that skidded down a LaGuardia airport runway on its nose on Monday touched down on its front wheels first, which then collapsed, according to federal accident investigators.The unusual landing, in which investigators said the plane's nose pitched down seconds before touchdown, is the surest clue yet to explain the accident involving the Boeing 737 that injured several people.The National Transportation Safety Board said on Thursday that video and other sources provide evidence that the nose gear contacted the tarmac before the main wheels.Under a normal landing in a big jet, the main landing gear under each wing would touch the runway first and simultaneously -- absorbing the main stress of landing -- and the nose gear then lowered gradually as the plane decelerates down the runway.That model jet is expected to cross the runway threshold at about 140 knots or 161 mph, according to Boeing figures.Investigators said the pilot evidently adjusted the wing flaps less than a minute before landing, suggesting to veteran pilots who spoke with CNN that the plane may not have been on a stabilized approach as it neared the runway.Landing the way it did "would potentially have overstressed the nose gear to the point where it would have failed," said Capt.

Co. Board to take up proposal to increase parking fees at airport
MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- Prices for flights are on the rise, and now, parking at Mitchell International Airport could soon cost a little more as well.A Milwaukee County Board Committee approved a proposal that would increase daily parking costs by 50 cents at all of its garages and lots.The increase is said to help make up lost revenue at the airport, since there are fewer people flying.The increase would result in a $2.6 million boost annually.However, one County supervisor believes an extra 50 cents is an inconvenience."It's not a chicken feed thing as far as a $2.6 million, you know, revenue enhancer, but let's just keep it simple and go with dollars," County Supervisor Mark Borkowski said.The proposal now moves on to the full County Board.
