- American Airlines is to pay $5m in its freight case [Google News]
- Delta is fined $38 Million For Air Cargo Price Fixing [Journal of Commerce]
- BA is dragging Qantas into its lawsuit additional to the lawsuit Qantas is currently facing and which the airline has already been fined $20 Million and $61 Million. [The Australia]
- SAA, BA and others in dock for fixing cargo freight rates [Business Report]
