WASHINGTON (Kyodo) -- Japan Airlines International has agreed to pay $110 million in fine for its role in fixing rates for international cargo shipments, the U.S. Justice Department said Wednesday.
JAL pleaded guilty to the charges, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, and agreed to cooperate with the Justice Department in the ongoing investigation, the department said.
JAL engaged in a conspiracy in the United States and elsewhere to eliminate competition by fixing the rates for international shipments of cargo to and from the United States and elsewhere from April 2000 to February 2006, the department said.
