Air Cargo Price Fixing

illegal price fixing among the largest names in the air cargo U.S. and European regulators have launched an investigation into illegal price fixing among the largest names in the air cargo industry. Regulators believe that airfreight carriers may have conspired with each other to control pricing. More than a dozen airlines are believed to be part of the investigation, including: Lufthansa, Lan Chile, Air France, British Airlines, Japan Airlines, Korean Airlines, American Airlines, SAS, Asiana Air, Polar Air, Cathay Pacific, Atlas Air, and Cargolux. The U.S. Justice Department and the European Commission are conducting the antitrust investigation.

airfreight transport have complained about suspicious industry pricing

For years businesses that have relied on airfreight transport have complained about suspicious industry pricing. Investigators are focusing on whether these companies colluded to fix prices on surcharges for fuel, security and insurance. Industry insiders believe the probes must involve the fuel surcharge formula devised by Lufthansa, which is used by many carriers around the world. This formula calls for a review of fuel prices every two weeks and adjusts surcharges accordingly.

It is against the law in most countries for companies to collude to set prices or divide territory.

I would like it known, to those concerned, what a wonderful job Benita Rollis did on my behalf concerning the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund claim. Her skill and compassion made my experience with Parker Waichman one that I will not soon forget. From the very beginning, Benita approached this whole process with the knowledge and logic of a true professional and someone who clearly loves what she does. Every time the VCF threw me a curve ball during this process, Benita knew exactly how to handle it, alleviating all fears. Also, the fact that she made herself so accessible was a major comfort. Parker Waichman is a better law firm because of Benita Rollis. I will most definitely recommend her to all who may be in need of your service. Thank you Benita and thank you Parker Waichman for helping me realize justice and absolutely changing my life as well as restoring my faith in the legal system!
