AMR Corp. and US Airways Group Inc. are seeking a court order requiring government officials to disclose the identities of people interviewed before filing a lawsuit seeking to halt the airlines’ proposed merger, Bloomberg News reported yesterday. The Justice Department has refused to turn over the names of those who were interviewed during the investigation of the proposed merger, the airlines said in a court filing yesterday. The U.S. claims the proposed merger of AMR’s American Airlines and US Airways would reduce competition, while the airlines defend the deal as good for consumers. The case is scheduled to begin trial Nov. 25.
