(FRANKFURT) - The German airline Lufthansa said Tuesday that European Commission investigators had visited the carrier's Frankfurt offices in connection with allegations of price fixing.

"The commission has information that passenger aviation companies including Lufthansa in Europe and in Japan may have taken part in anti-competitive price-fixing and collusive behaviour in traffic between the EU and Japan," the German airline said in a statement.

"Lufthansa is cooperating with the European Commission in full and willingly providing all the requested information," it added.
