Flugþjónustan at Keflavíkurflugvöllur ehf., v. The Competition Authority

The Competition Appeals Tribunal upheld the decision of the Competition Authority. No. 9/2006, where the Competition Authority concluded that the Icelandair Ground Handling Service (IGS), a subsidiary of FL Group, had abused its dominant market position in the handling of passenger aircraft. The company breached the prohibition on restrictive practices in competition law by entering into 10 exclusive purchasing agreements with airlines flying into Keflavik Airport and by making a competitively restrictive offer to the airline LTU. The Competition Authority had ordered the company to pay a fine of 80 million krónur, but the appeals board reduced this amount to 60 million krónur.
