Air cargo services to and from New Zealand are worth more than NZD$400 million a year. Regulators in the United States, the European Union and Australia have been pursuing airlines over alleged air cargo price fixing. Last month Air France KLM and three other airlines agreed to pay fines totalling USD$504 million to settle a case brought by US anti-trust officials. Last year, British Airways and Korean Air pleaded guilty and agreed to each pay a USD$300 million criminal fine for conspiring to fix cargo rates for international air shipments and to fix passenger fuel surcharges or fares for some routes. On January 14, 2008, Australia's Qantas Airways agreed to pay a USD$61 million criminal fine for cargo price-fixing. And last month, Japan Airlines was sentenced to pay a USD$110 million criminal fine for similar price-fixing. 7/16/2008
