  • Court of Appeal and English High Court Reshape Cartel Damages Litigation Landscape in Air Cargo
    Latham & Watkins Litigation Practice November 26, 2015 | Number 1900 Court of Appeal and English High Court Reshape Cartel Damages Litigation Landscape in Air Cargo Court of Appeal confirms presumption of innocence is absolute and strikes out economic tort claims; English High Court strikes out entirety of claim brought on behalf of over 60,000 Chinese claimants Background The appeals and the strike out application relate to claims brought by over 65,000 claimants against British Airways plc (BA) for losses arising out of an alleged cartel said to have operated on a worldwide basis between 1999 and 2007 (the Air Cargo litigation). The matters follow a 2010 European Commission decision (presently under appeal before the EU courts) which found that 11 airlines had infringed Article 101 the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) (and certain equivalent treaty provisions covering the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland) by colluding on certain elements of the price of air cargo services. The 2010 decision imposed a fine of €799 million. BA in turn brought contribution claims against 23 airlines involved in the alleged cartel. The Air Cargo case is one of the largest cartel damages actions in the English courts; parallel actions have been brought in the Netherlands and in Germany against the airlines in respect of the same alleged cartel conduct. The impact of these rulings on these parallel cases, and future cases brought in courts in England and across Europe, is likely to be significant. The Pergan Appeal – Presumption of Innocence In Air Canada & Ors v Emerald Supplies Limited & Ors [2015] EWCA Civ 1024 (14 October 2015), the Court of Appeal heard two appeals brought by certain airlines, including Singapore Airlines Limited and Singapore Airlines Cargo Pte Ltd.

  • Collusion Claims Hit Carriers Including American Airlines, Lan Chile
    A group of claimants including 20 Chilean exporters will receive US$350 million in compensation from major airline companies over alleged price collusion deals between 2000 and 2006. The Chilean exporters were represented by local law firm Araya & Cia, but partner Matías Araya Varela says the exact amount of the total sum to be given to his clients cannot yet be revealed. "There was price collusion on fuel and security surcharges during an understood period between January 2000 and Septembre 2006, which effectively led to an increase in air freight during that period, which is why a collective lawsuit was brought in the United States," Araya Varela says. "The distribution of the compensatory sum is in respect to the amounts among the participants, so it doesn't mean that one determined airline compensates X million; it is only distributed to those who transported with that airline, and that it's divided by those who presented claims of having shipped with whichever airline," he says. "It is forecast that the recuperation amount would be between 5% and 10% of the value of freight paid in the period." He says the 20 Chilean companies will likely receive their payments in the first half of next year, provided they can prove they paid for freight during the period and meet requirements. A U.S. shipping agent started the claim in 2006 which led to an investigation, before the airlines eventually decided to pay compensation but without recognizing responsibility. Araya Varela can confirm that to date Colombian exporters are also involved in the claims against the airlines.

  • Fly Quiet Program Chicago O’Hare International Airport
    1st Quarter 2018 Report Fly Quiet Program Chicago O’Hare International Airport Visit the O’Hare Noise Webpage on the Internet at www.flychicago.com/ORDNoise st 1 Quarter 2018 Report BACKGROUND On June 17, 1997, the City of Chicago announced that airlines operating at O’Hare International Airport had agreed to use designated noise abatement flight procedures in accordance with the Fly Quiet Program. The Fly Quiet Program was implemented in an effort to further reduce the impacts of aircraft noise on the surrounding neighborhoods. The Fly Quiet Program is a voluntary program that encourages pilots and air traffic controllers to use designated nighttime preferential runways and flight tracks developed by the Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) in cooperation with the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission, the airlines, and the air traffic controllers. These preferred routes direct aircraft over less-populated areas, such as forest preserves, highways, as well as commercial and industrial areas. As part of the Fly Quiet Program, the Chicago Department of Aviation prepares a Quarterly Fly Quiet Report. This report is shared with CDA staff, the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission, the airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the general public. The Fly Quiet Report contains detailed information regarding Fly Quiet Mode, runway use, flight operations, flight tracks, and noise complaints and 24-hour tracking of ground run-ups. The data presented in this report is compiled from the Airport Noise Management System (ANMS) and airport operation logs. FLY QUIET MODE (FQM) The FAA considers nighttime hours as 10:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m.1 It is the CDA’s goal for the Fly Quiet Program to occur during the entire nine-hour nighttime period of 10:00 p.m.
