British Airway today said it was under investigation by the UK's Office of Fair Trading and the US department of justice for alleged cartel activity.
In a terse statement, the self-described world's favourite airline said the allegations related to 'pricing of passenger air transportation, including fuel surcharges'.
BA's commercial director, Martin George, and its head of communications, Iain Burns, have been given leave of absence during the investigation into BA and other airlines."
