Good afternoon. Qantas is again in the spotlight after the ACCC announced it was taking legal action against the airline, alleging it has engaged in false, misleading or deceptive conduct.
The consumer watchdog alleges Qantas advertised and sold tickets for more than 8,000 flights that it had already cancelled in its system. The ACCC chair, Gina Cass-Gottlieb, said it would seek a penalty that “sets a deterrence”. The move was backed by the nation’s airports, who said the ACCC’s investigation “confirms what many have been raising for some time”.
