The appeal, filed on Thursday with the 11th Circuit US Court of Appeals, comes less than a month after the Department of Transportation issued a final order for the airlines to end their alliance, Delta said in a statement. The partnership allowed the carriers to coordinate pricing, marketing and frequent flyer programs.
