Sabre Braces For DOJ To Challenge Farelogix Deal, Plows Ahead

Sabre announced it will proceed to close its acquisition of Farelogix next week, but it faces a potential suit by the U.S. Department of Justice that could challenge the transaction. DOJ has yet to file a federal complaint and did not immediately reply to The Beat to comment on its plans. Yet, Sabre on Wednesday noted that DOJ, "under the terms of its timing agreement with Sabre," must file a federal complaint by Aug. 21 if it elects to challenge the acquisition.
