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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
