ACCC takes AirAsia to court over fare ads

19 JAN: The ACCC has begun legal action against budget airline AirAsia X over its alleged failure to disclose the full cost of fares from Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. In documents filed in the Federal Court on Tuesday, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission claims that fares sold on the airline’s website disclosed only part of the total price for flights from Melbourne, the Gold Coast and Perth to destinations in Asia, Europe and India because they excluded taxes, fees and other charges, the SMH says.

The regulator wants the court to order the airline to publish on its website a notice stating that it failed to ‘’specify, in a prominent way, the single price for air travel on its website … since at least September’’.

Its action comes just a day after AirAsia announced plans to serve Sydney from April, with a start-up fare of $99 one-way to KL.
