Virgin who commited the same crime walk away scott free.

Now I thought knowingly witholding information on a crime was a crime in itself.

What a bloody example to our youngsters.

Yep and Virgin only whiste blowed after they were threatened with this.Appaling

The class action suit was brought by the US law firm Cohen Milstein.

Cohen Milstein estimates that the settlement will be worth about $200m (£100m), £73.5m of which will be set aside to pay claims by passengers who bought tickets in the UK in pounds sterling.




Check BA share price

BA said that the refunds would be worth between £1 and £11.50 per flight while Virgin said they would be between £2 and £10.

BA was fined £121.5m by the Office of Fair Trading and $300m by the US Department of Justice for colluding with Virgin on the level of fuel surcharges that would be added to their ticket prices.

Virgin escaped the fines because it had informed the authorities that the breaches had happened.
