2010 World Soccer Cup and Air Tickets' price increase

South African antitrust authority continues to keep carefully watch on competition afraid of air carrier could join a trust with the purpose to increase ticket price on the occasion of "2010 World Soccer Cup" will be disputed in South Africa from next 11th of June to 11th of July. Yesterday a "Blitz" was disposed in AASA's (Association Southern Africa Air Company) low-cost Mango's and South African's (SAA) offices and electronic data.

In an antitrust press release it can read: "These verifications are part of authority's inquiry about a suspected air companies' aim against World Soccer Cup. We suspect both Mango or Saa had hidden some elements useful to inquiry".

The authority started the investigations last January to research on possible illegal aim by air companies British Airways, Comair, Saa and their partners, by low-cost 1Time and Mango, damaging all the sportsmen who will use aircraft to follow near their soccer teams. It's to underline that already in last December South African offered to co-operate, but with condition not to be persecute in this operation.
