Air Namibia is facing complaints at the Competition Commissions of Namibia and South Africa for predatory pricing on some of its routes.
The airline is accused of undercutting prices and sacrificing short-term profit in a bid to curb competition and maintain the monopoly on certain routes.
Corporate communications manager of Air Namibia, Paul Nakawa, told eTNW a complaint had been lodged with the Competition Commissions of both countries. “SA Airlink contends that Air Namibia is engaging in predatory pricing on the Windhoek-Cape Town route.” Both Commissions were currently investigating whether this was the case, Nakawa said.
He said the airline was being assisted by lawyers to dispute the complaints. “We remain confident of successfully opposing the claim.”
