REUTERS/Kevin LamarqueWASHINGTON, June 12 (Reuters) - U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin on Monday delayed the effective date of a permanent injunction after ruling American Airlines (AAL.O) and JetBlue Airways (JBLU.O) must end their Northeast Alliance (NEA) they used to coordinate flights and pool revenue. On Friday, the airlines asked Sorokin to allow them to continue mutual frequent flyer recognition and codeshare arrangements. The Justice Department said Sorokin should reject the airlines' "invitation to craft a new 'NEA Lite' on the fly." Separately, the Justice Department filed suit in March aimed at stopping JetBlue from buying discount rival Spirit Airlines (SAVE.N).

The judge gave the airlines 30 days to end the alliance. TD Cowen analyst Helane Becker said she believes the American JetBlue ruling "has negative implications for the JetBlue/Spirit merger."
