Qantas Airways became the third foreign airline this year to admit to price-fixing. It has agreed to pay a $61 million fine to the U.S. government. Qantas sought to eliminate competition by fixing the rates for shipments of cargo to and from the U.S and elsewhere from at least January 2000 through February 2006, according to the charges filed in federal court. Earlier this year, British Airways and Korean Air Lines pleaded guilty to price-fixing charges, and each agreed to pay $300 million fines.
