The U.S. Justice Department is reviewing the proposed merger, which would make American the world's biggest airline. The attorneys general of 19 states, led by Texas, have joined that review, meaning that state officials will be able to take part in meetings and witness depositions. Members of Congress have raised concern that after a merger, American and US Airways Group Inc. would be too dominant at Reagan National Airport outside Washington, D.C. The airlines, however, have resisted suggestions that they should sell some of their takeoff and landing slots at Reagan to other carriers, in order to increase competition. Trevino said American, part of AMR Corp., was continuing to work with the Justice Department and looked forward to closing the merger, which is expected in the third quarter.
