MAS, AirAsia win bid to quash RM10mil fine over market sharing deal

The Malaysia Competition Commission had fined Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia RM10 million each for breaching a market-sharing prohibition.

Court of Appeal judge Hanipah Farikullah today said the court unanimously allowed the airline companies’ appeals, filed separately but heard together.In the court’s decision, Hanipah said the collaboration agreement between MAS and AirAsia was entered on Aug 9, 2011, several months before the Competition Act came into force.

“The collaboration agreement was discussed before the Act came into force,” Hanipa said, adding that it was “perfectly lawful” to discuss such agreement at the material time.The airliners contended in their submissions that the commission had no legal standing to file the judicial review against the decision by the appellate tribunal in setting aside the decision to impose the RM10 million fine.“They cannot challenge CAT’s decision unless the Act allows them to do so,” she said.
