American Airlines to pay US$5 mil., provide evidence in freight case

DALLAS -- American Airlines has agreed to pay US$5 million and provide evidence against other airlines to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by freight shippers who were victims of a price-fixing cartel.

A lawyer for the shippers, Michael Hausfeld, said Wednesday that American was the first airline to agree to help the shippers conduct other lawsuits outside the United States. He said Air France KLM, which said this month it agreed to pay US$87 million to settle its role in the same case, refused to offer its help.
