The merger¹ of American Airlines and US Airways² has been approved by a US judge, moving the two companies one step closer to forming the world's largest carrier.

美国航空公司与全美航空公司的兼并请求被一位法官批准，这两家公司离世界上最大的航空公司又进了一步。

The deal had to be approved by the judge because American Airlines has been in bankruptcy³ protection since November 2011.

The merger was first announced in February.

It still needs approval by the Justice Department and US Airways shareholders⁴.

They are expected to back the deal before the end of the year.

"The merger is an excellent result. I don't think anybody disputes that," said Judge Sean Lane.

While loss-making American Airlines has spent the past 14 months protected from its creditors⁵, US Airways has been profitable in recent years. The two combined airlines will have 6,700 daily flights and annual revenue of roughly $40bn.

The majority of the merged⁶ company will be owned by American Airlines' creditors, but the chief executive will be the current US Airways boss, Doug Parker.
