British Airways has been fined £121.5m after it admitted price-fixing of fuel surcharges on long-haul flights.

BA colluded with Virgin Atlantic over the surcharges, which were added in response to rising oil prices, the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) said.

The OFT and the US Department of Justice (DoJ) have been investigating the allegations since June last year.

BA have said " they set aside the money" They still have to get the money back from somewhere to pay there share holders and top brass.

British Airways has been named in a report by the Association of European Airlines as the worst performing major European operator.

The report shows BA passengers were more likely to encounter delays.

And between April and June, for every 1000 travellers, 28 bags were held up - compared with just three for Air Malta.
