Comment on MAS paid US$3.35 million under anti-trust law in US by Staff Only

The last time I remember was that Lufthansa sold out STAR alliance through organizing a meeting for fixing prices. Many executives including people in Khazanah and the thamby for example do not know what is anti-trust.

Once all airlines entered into the meeting with Lufthansa fixing prices for cargo, it’s considered “antitrust” activity and therefore, they were all charged in EU court. The difference between MAS and STAR alliance was MAS is not the member of STAR alliance and thanks to Dr. Wafi where he has had conducted classes/meetings for almost all part of MAS offices worldwide. During that crucial moment, Dr. Wafi had proven MAS wasn’t involved in the fixing of prices for cargo and so he won the case on behalf of MAS. The only problem MAS would have is sometimes we do have stubborn idiots who refused to abide the standing law. It takes only one of our executives to make those mistakes proving to antitrust regulators of our participation in fixing or dumping prices. In court, lawyers can plead for lessor charges if it was the first time offender if proven guilty. Simple logic! If not a lawyer, don’t try lawyering with speculation because it makes that “person” looks very gullible in the eyes of public.

Antitrust: Commission fines 11 air cargo carriers €799 million in price fixing cartel

The European Commission has fined 11 air cargo carriers a total of €799.445.000 for operating a worldwide cartel which affected cargo services within the European Economic area (EEA). Several known airlines are among the 11 undertakings fined, namely Air Canada, Air France-KLM, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Cargolux, Japan Airlines, LAN Chile, Martinair, SAS, Singapore Airlines and Qantas. The carriers coordinated their action on surcharges for fuel and security without discounts over a six year period. Lufthansa (and its subsidiary Swiss) received full immunity from fines under the Commission’s leniency programme, as it was the first to provide information about the cartel.

“It is deplorable that so many major airlines coordinated their pricing to the detriment of European businesses and European consumers” said Vice President for Competition Joaquín Almunia adding:” with today’s decision the Commission is sending a clear message that it will not tolerate cartel behaviour”.

Today the Commission fined 11 air cargo carriers a total of €799.445.000. The cartel members coordinated various elements of price for a period of over six years, from December 1999 to 14 February 2006. The cartel arrangements consisted of numerous contacts between airlines, at both bilateral and multilateral level, covering flights from, to and within the EEA. Airlines providing airfreight services primarily offer the transport of cargo to freight forwarders, who arrange the carriage of these goods including associated services and formalities on behalf of shippers.

The infringement

The contacts on prices between the airlines concerned initially started with a view to discuss fuel surcharges. The carriers contacted each other so as to ensure that worldwide airfreight carriers imposed a flat rate surcharge per kilo for all shipments. The cartel members extended their cooperation by introducing a security surcharge and refusing to pay a commission on surcharges to their clients (freight forwarders).

The aim of these contacts was to ensure that these surcharges were introduced by all the carriers involved and that increases (or decreases) of the surcharge levels were applied in full without exception. By refusing to pay a commission, the airlines ensured that surcharges did not become subject to competition through the granting of discounts to customers. Such practices are in breach of the EU competition rules.

On the other hand, Commission allegations of collusion on two other surcharges and regarding freight rates in the Statement of Objections have been dropped from the case for insufficient evidence. The Commission also dropped charges against another 11 carriers and one consultancy firm which had previously received the Statement of Objections for the same reason.

The fines

In setting the level of the fines, the Commission took into account the sales of the companies involved in the market concerned, the very serious nature of the infringement, the EEA-wide scope of the cartel and its duration.

All carriers were granted a 50% reduction on sales between the EEA and third countries in order to take into account the fact that on these routes part of the harm of the cartel fell outside the EEA. The Commission increased the fine for SAS by 50% for its previous involvement in a cartel in the airline sector (SAS/Maersk cartel, see IP/01/1009). All carriers received a reduction of 15% on account of the general regulatory environment in the sector which can be seen as encouraging price coordination. Four carriers were also granted a 10% reduction for limited participation in the infringement. As the fines on two companies would have exceeded the legal maximum of 10% of their 2009 turnover, the amount (before possible leniency considerations) was reduced to this level.

Lufthansa (and its subsidiary Swiss) received full immunity under the Commission Leniency Programme, as it brought the cartel to the Commission’s attention and provided valuable information. The fines of the following carriers were also reduced for their cooperation with the Commission under its Leniency Programme: Martinair (50%), Japan Airlines (25%), Air France-KLM (20%), Cathay Pacific (20%), LAN Chile (20%), Qantas (20%), Air Canada (15%), Cargolux (15%), SAS (15%) and British Airways (10%).

Five carriers applied for a reduction claiming inability to pay the fine. However, none of the applications met the conditions for a reduction

(*) Legal entities within the undertaking may be held jointly and severally liable for the whole or part of the fine imposed.

Action for damages

Any person or firm affected by anti-competitive behaviour as described in this case may bring the matter before the courts of the Member States and seek damages. The case law of the Court and Council Regulation 1/2003 both confirm that in cases before national courts, a Commission decision is binding proof that the behaviour took place and was illegal. Even though the Commission has fined the companies concerned, damages may be awarded without these being reduced on account of the Commission fine.

The Commission considers that meritorious claims for damages should be aimed at compensating, in a fair way, the victims of an infringement for the harm done. A White Paper on antitrust damages actions has been published (see IP/08/515 and MEMO/08/216). More information, including a citizens’ summary of the White Paper, is available at:

an open letter to flyguy,

yes, i agree with both Anti-Kronisme and Jangan Salahkan Orang Lain.

the Malaysian companies especially the government and GLC, they are trying very hard to suck the rakyat/Malaysia’s treasures, wealth and properties. with the help of the spinner, the job can be done in a short time.

it is truly true that MAS (Mesti Ada Saudara).

i did my internship in one of the company in KLIA. most of them (including ex-MAS staff) telling me that if i wanna join MAS, it is important to have saudara/cable and the process of becoming MAS staff become easy with that. i’m also a degree student and becoming an engineer.

you are the staff with the degree. i don’t know weather you are a pilot or cabin crew or ground staff or you are MASEUS committee. but remember, this case is not only you and other staff of MAS is waching. don’t you know that people like me and others also watching these scenes aven we are not shouting like what you are doing rite now. the ‘mulut puaka’ like you saying others stupid is unacceptable. shamed on you and your family.

i don’t know which university had you attended before. it is no manner at all by calling someone stupid. you can put your degree under my foot and others feet because you can’t accept someone who are criticising you. you shoud or you may take the criticism as a stepping stone to improve yourself and your company.

it is very good if MAS now upgrading their management but as many people see that with the pressure of Tony asking your upper level management to make MAS becomes weak and MAS would be into the drain in a while.

you are just shouting here while your unions are doing nothing. sama je. bagai anjing menyalak bukit.

i hope YB can do something. the rakyat is on your side.

Save MAS. Berani kerana benar, takut kerana salah.

Hello…who is that MAS Lover?

Never written anything here, but really cannot tahan seeing such thing.

Orang macam nilah is a sad example of some staff in MAS. Not all are like that, except perhaps a few. But to MAS Lover and the likes, pls don’t be so mengada-ngada. Malu the rest who actually do work hard.

Work at other department and you’ll see how ‘pampered’ a cabin crew is in comparison. Every aspect that relates to your job is paid for..transportation, meal. Some more, insist to have good, min 3 star hotel, without caring what it’ll cost the Company, then cannot share room pulak – konon cannot relax (yeah, despite the nice bed, nice hotel they’ve insisted on).

Agree with Kunyit Hidup..compare your payslip la…can rival the execs/controllers/some mgrs pay…and they exhaust their brains working till late night for the Company and its turnaround/initiatives.

If that Panamera Deadwood is of any good then MAS will not have to pay for the US$3.35 million. A few more in 2008 which have not bee judged yet.

There are too many Panamera deadwood in MAS that include Rashdan and his relative. AJ will be joining soon. He will no doubt fail when he has a deputy like Rashdan who knows nuts about airlines business except using his degree to bullshit his way.

Hope MYCC will safe MAS and the people.

Jamal, i am not wasting my time debating whether Dr. Wafi has done his job correctly or not but my point is I’m not the only who knows what he’s been doing. Credit is credit unless you have done better than him for MAS. Whatever you say would not change my view on Dr. Wafi and his team. The problem you have is “barking at the wrong tree” all the time. You should be barking at AZMAN MOKTHAR AND THE THAMBY ROBBERS. That’ll be worth your barks.

to Flyguy,

i think u r the one in MAS which have low mentality.poor u.i dun think u deserve your degree.

you should openly open your mind to accept all the critics because criticism may lead us to be an excellence one. dont take it easy and blame others.

you should ask yourself and sometimes you should ask why people are saying that things.

i do agree with anti-kronisme, the Malaysian companies especially in the government and GLC they tend to bring their families in the company even the 1 that they bring doesnt have what you have called intelligent/brilliant or whatsoever.

just simple, please look at your management in MAS, the upper management, are they intelligent/brilliant enough???they are there because of someone.

i also heard many times on MAS=Mesti Ada Saudara. yes, it is the truth actually and the cronyism in MAS should stop immediately.

you should pray and thank god by saying Alhamdulillah coz you got that job while thousands (of coz hundreds of them come single without any support by whatsocalled cable) want that job.

dont try to show your intelligent/brilliiant by mentioning u have a degree. jangan jadi senjata makan diri. degree is not showing that u r intelligent enougt by blaming and by calling others stupid.

Jaga-jaga, ada yang memerhati.
