Description of Conduct
On 29 October 2014 the Board of Airline Representatives of Australia Inc (BARA) applied for re-authorisation to negotiate and bargain collectively, on behalf of BARA's member airlines from time to time, with airport operators and other providers of essential aviation services, and agree on terms and conditions of acquisition of such services, including prices, on an airport by airport basis. In addition to the conduct previously authorised, BARA seeks authorisation to negotiate collectively with suppliers and potential suppliers of Australian Government-mandated security services that exhibit natural monopoly characteristics. Re-authorisation has been sought for a further seven years.
On 25 March 2015, the ACCC issued a determination re-authorising the proposed conduct for a further 10 years.
