FARE-FIXING South Africa is investigating possible collusion by several of the country's main airlines, including SA Express, British Airways franchise partner Comair, Airlink, 1Time and Mango, to raise fares ahead of this summer's World Cup. No formal accusations have been made but, competition commissioner Shan Ramburuth says: "It is possible that some firms might want to exploit the situation by engaging in anti-competitive conduct."
