American Airlines parent AMR Corp. will have to wait a while longer to learn whether a bankruptcy judge will approve its settlement with the U.S. Justice Department of a lawsuit over the carrier’s proposed merger with US Airways Group Inc.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane declined to rule on the settlement from the bench after a hearing today in Manhattan. After hours of argument over a group’s request to block the regulatory accord, the judge said he would have a decision by Nov. 27, at the latest.
