New Zealand Indicts Kuehne in Antitrust Suit Against, BaZ Says

New Zealand authorities indicted Switzerland’s Kuehne & Nagel International AG and Panalpina Welttransport Holding AG as well as other logistics companies in an antitrust case, Basler Zeitung reported.

The companies allegedly “artificially” increased air- freight prices from and to New Zealand since 2001, the newspaper said, citing New Zealand’s authorities.

Kuehne & Nagel rejects the charges and will defend itself in court while Panalpina is in settlement talks with New Zealand’s authorities, Basler Zeitung cited the companies as saying.
