Qantas fined for misleading advertising
10 October 2006Australia’s Qantas Airways has been fined over fare advertising, the Commerce Commission said today, relating to similar charges that Air New Zealand faced earlier this year.
Air NZ was charged over advertising, mostly between 2001 and 2003, which did not include certain surcharges such as for fuel.
The airline has since moved to using all inclusive prices in its ads.
The penalty was one of the highest ever imposed under the Fair Trading Act for misleading advertising.
