Airlink Faces Potential 10% Turnover Penalty in South African Antitrust Case
South Africa's Competition Commission has concluded its investigation into Airlink, referring the carrier to the Competition Tribunal for prosecution over alleged excessive pricing. The probe focused on the Johannesburg-Mthatha route, where the commission found Airlink exploited its market dominance after becoming the sole operator. Regulators allege the airline's prices were excessively high and are recommending a significant penalty. The proposed fine is up to 10% of Airlink's annual turnover for the relevant period. Airlink denies the allegations and has stated its intent to defend its position.
