Federal regulators set to agree to restricted partnership, report says

The Bush administration plans to approve an alliance between American Airlines and British Airways, but will insist on restrictions that call the deal's future into question, a newspaper reported Friday.

If the Department of Transportation grants the two carriers antitrust immunity, other restraints will be required in order to allow for competition within the industry, according to The Wall Street Journal.
