Description
Some of the world's biggest airlines, including our very own British Airways, stand accused of ripping off consumers in price fixing conspiracies. The Office of Fair Trading in the UK and the Depar...tment of Justice in the US have launched investigations into two alleged conspiracies with a series of dawn raids on airline offices. Competition law bans firms from agreeing prices so that customers benefit from cheaper goods and services as companies compete.
