Court Demands American Airlines List Its Flights On Orbitz

Posted by timothy on Friday June 3, 2011 @03:26PM from the information-wants-to-be-compelled-to-appear dept.

schwit1 writes "American Airlines, which removed its flights from Orbitz.com late last year, was ordered by a Chicago court on Thursday to allow the travel site access to its flight and fare information. American Airlines filed an anti-trust suit against Travelport in December, claiming that the company, which owns just under half of Orbitz's shares and runs the service compiling fare information for travel site, was trying to control the sale of tickets. Before the lawsuit, a considerable amount of American's revenue had been coming from tickets booked through Orbitz and Travelport."

I don't get it. A government court can order you (or a company) to purchase a commercial product you don't want to buy and its not even health insurance?
