Singapore Airlines Cargo dismayed by FTC fine

Singapore Airlines Cargo is seriously considering mounting an appeal after the South Korean Fair Trade Commission (FTC) issued fines worth US$98 million to 19 airlines.

"The FTC found the airlines guilty of conspiring to introduce fuel surcharges for freight cargoes or continued to raise them over the past seven years. This is estimated to have resulted in the loss if $5 billion worth of sales in the South Korean market," said an Aircargo news report.

Singapore Airlines Cargo has released a statement saying they are "very disappointed" and "will study the decision closely with a serious view towards mounting an appeal" once they receive the Commission's full reasoning.

The said airlines include Korean Air Lines, Asiana Airlines, Air France, Cathay Pacific Airways, Japan Airlines International and Lufthansa.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
