Emirates to cooperate with South Africa investigation into ‘incentives to travel agents’ | The National

Emirates to cooperate with South Africa investigation into ‘incentives to travel agents’ | The National:

"Emirates has said it will “cooperate fully" with South African authorities in an investigation into claims that the ­Dubai carrier offered incentives to travel agents to divert sales from competitors between 2010 and 2014.

“We take compliance with competition law very seriously wherever we operate, and we are cooperating fully with the [competition] commission’s inquiry," an Emirates spokeswoman said. The airline said that it would not make any further comment at this stage since the investigation was an ongoing matter.

South Africa’s competition commission confirmed that it was investigating Emirates for abuse of dominance under the Competition Act, Business Day, a Johannesburg publication, reported. The act bans a firm from “inducing" a customer to not deal with a competitor."
