# DOJ Official Highlights Airline Competition Priorities
Deputy Assistant Attorney General Dina Kallay delivered virtual remarks at the 2025 Chatham House Competition Policy Conference in London on November 20, focusing on competition in the airline industry. Kallay, who covers international antitrust issues at the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, discussed recent airline industry cases and the effects of government regulation on competitive markets.
The remarks aligned with the Trump Administration's focus on affordability issues affecting American families, including housing, healthcare, food, and transportation. Kallay emphasized that competition in air travel directly impacts household budgets and the cost of living for consumers. She highlighted that rising airfare costs create barriers for families attempting to travel during major holidays like Thanksgiving.
Kallay indicated the Antitrust Division is prioritizing "pocketbook issues" that affect daily life and consumer purchasing power. The office plans to examine antitrust immunities and government intervention's role in shaping competitive airline industry conditions through analysis of both domestic and international airline matters.
