Le agenzie di viaggi contro Air France, appello al Garante

✈ Aiav, Assoviaggi Confesercenti, Fiavet Confcommercio, and Maavi have reported Air France and Klm to the Italian Competition Authority for unfair practices, as they prevent travel agencies from purchasing air tickets with corporate credit cards on behalf of clients. These airlines allow purchases only with certain 'preferred' credit cards, creating an uneven playing field and penalizing both intermediaries and consumers. Additionally, the associations contest a penalty imposed by the airlines for alleged violations of IATA Resolution 890, amounting to 5% of the ticket price, which is 50 times greater than the 0.01% commission given to the agencies. The associations demand an immediate intervention and call for the support of consumer associations and the ABI.
