The ACCC is an active advocate on behalf of airline customers’ rights, with Garuda now the 10th airline brought to court by the watchdog group. Prosecutions of airlines under charges brought by ACCC have resulted in penalties of US$41 million.
Among the airlines brought to court by the ACCC are: Qantas Airways, British Airways, Air France, KLM, Martinair Holland and Cargo Lux. Actions are said to be pending by the ACCC against Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Emirates.
