| South Africa's Competition Commission said yesterday it has opened an investigation into possible price-fixing by airlines during the football World Cup.
The investigation targets British Airways and its local partner Comair, South African Airways and its partners SA Airlink and SA Express, as well as discount carriers 1Time and Mango, the commission said in a statement.
They are suspected of colluding on prices and pricing strategies during the World Cup, which kicks off on June 11, it said.
"The soccer World Cup tournament provides South African business with a good opportunity to showcase our international competitiveness, an opportunity which could have positive and lasting benefits," said Commissioner Shan Ramburuth.
