United Airlines Announcement


In response to today's announcement by United Airlines, Sen. Grassley issued the following statement. As a senior member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Grassley continues his efforts to address anti-competitive practices in the airline industry. See attached for more details.

"Today's announcement is good news. Des Moines has been disproportionately hit with sky high airfares, and achieving competitive prices for business travel is a key component for economic growth. I appreciate the successful effort made by Des Moines area business leaders and United Airlines to secure this economic development package for Central Iowa. It is an important step in the right direction. All of Iowa deserves affordable airfares."
