• Germany: Fine imposed for coordinating Ticket Prices for Flights to Turkey On 28 September 2010, the Bundeskartellamt imposed a fine of € 1 200 000 on Condor Flugdienst GmbH for its involvement in an illegal agreement on the prices of flights from Germany to Turkey infringing national competition law and Article 101 TFEU. No fine was imposed on the airline SunExpress which also participated in the agreement, as it benefitted from immunity in accordance with the Bundeskartellamt’s Leniency Programme. According to the Bundeskartellamt’s investigations the two companies agreed, among others, on the fact that SunExpress would not offer flights from Germany to Turkey for less than € 99 in the summer of 2009. Moreover, the price of an air ticket was to be set at no more than € 10 below the price offered by Condor. The agreement covered routes simultaneously operated by the two companies; only the seat- only business was affected. The agreement ended in the autumn of 2009 following the discovery of the competition law infringement during an internal audit. The proceedings were triggered by a leniency application filed by SunExpress, a joint venture of Deutsche Lufthansa AG and Turkish Airlines. Condor is a fully owned subsidiary of Thomas Cook AG. The decision followed a settlement with Condor and has become final as the undertaking did not appeal the decision. In settlement cases, the Bundeskartellamt will generally issue only a shortened fines decision limited to outline the basic facts and the main legal assessment. Also these decisions are usually not appealed before the court. See further: http://www.bundeskartellamt.de/wEnglisch/News/press/2010_09_28.php 28.

BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport Welcomes Condor Airlines Nonstop Service to Frankfurt
BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport Welcomes Condor Airlines Nonstop Service to Frankfurt New International Service to Major European Hub Market Begins in July 2012 Condor Airlines announced today at the 17th Annual World Route Development Forum in Berlin, Germany that it would begin seasonal, twice weekly service between Frankfurt and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Frankfurt is an important international destination and a major European hub market. Frankfurt Airport is among the top 10 busiest global airports, with 53 million annual passengers. “We are delighted that Condor chose BWI Marshall Airport as its latest American market,” said Maryland Transportation Secretary Beverley K. Swaim-Staley. “BWI Marshall is an important transportation and economic resource for the State of Maryland and the National Capital region. Condor’s service between BWI Marshall and Frankfurt will help open the door to new global opportunities for our State and our region.” Condor, a German airline, was founded in 1955 and is the third largest airline in Germany. The airline offers service to over 70 international destinations in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. The flights between BWI Marshall and Frankfurt will operate on Mondays and Thursdays. The service will utilize a 270-seat Boeing 767-300 aircraft offering three classes of service—Comfort (business), Premium Economy and Economy. “This new route gets our passengers within easy reach of two attractive destinations on the eastern coast of the USA,” explained Ralf Teckentrup, Condor CEO. “Both Baltimore and the U.S. capital Washington DC are directly linked to the airport.” “This new international air service is an excellent addition for business and leisure travelers,” said Paul J.

WHO PROFITS AT DSEI? A quick guide to some of the companies attending the world's biggest arms fair WHAT IS DSEI? Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) is a trade exhibition for the arms trade. DSEI is held in London every two years, and is where the arms trade comes into direct contact with militaries and police forces from around the world. In 2015, over 1,500 exhibitors were present; between them they sell everything a modern military might need to wage war. These companies hope to market their wares - planes, tanks, guns, rockets, bullets, tear gas, restraints, computer software, training and much more - to representatives of over sixty different countries invited to attend DSEI. In 2015 these included 14 authoritarian regimes of which ten attended, four countries identified as having wide-ranging human rights abuses and six countries at war. DSEI is organised by a private company, Clarion Events, with the full support of the British government who send official invites to military delegations via the Defence and Security Organisation (DSO), an official government body. WHO PROFITS? What are the causes of war? The answer is multifaceted, but must include the economic structures that both rely on, and drive, militarism and the powerful forces that are ‘making a killing’ out of death and destruction. Hundreds of companies attend DSEI, looking to market weapons of war to militaries from around the world – the global arms trade is worth billions of pounds each year. This resource includes short introductions to twelve of the many hundreds of companies exhibiting at DSEI in September 2017.
