THE International Air Transport Association (IATA) has joined calls for the Australian Government to challenge the recommendations of the Productivity Commission’s final report into potentially monopolistic behaviour of airports (TD 23 Oct).
The commission’s report found airports had not systematically exercised their market power to the detriment of the community.
“The PC continues to ignore the collective views and concerns of airlines and airport users and in turn, the interests of the Australian consumer,” said IATA Area Manager for the South West Pacific Matteo Zanarini.
“We have consistently highlighted throughout the Inquiry period the serious concerns of airlines and that the current light-handed regime of economic regulation is ineffective in protecting the interests of airlines’ passengers,” he added.
