Malaysia Airlines under EU 'anti-competitive' probe

27 December 2007, 14:15 CET

(KUALA LUMPUR) - National carrier Malaysia Airlines on Thursday said it was being investigated along with its cargo unit by the European Commission for "anti-competitive behaviour."

The carrier said it was served with a "statement of objections" from the European Commission on Thursday for alleged anti-competitive practices in air freight.

Malaysia Airlines said it complies with all the laws in the countries it operates, adding that the charge sheet did not indicate the amount of fines that might be imposed.

"The MAS group of companies has a policy of compliance with all applicable laws, including competition laws, in their countries of operation," it said.
