The settlement will provide $144 million for U.K. purchasers and $59 million for U.S. purchasers who bought tickets from the airlines between August ’04 and March ’06, when the two carriers exchanged information several times over plans to increase fuel surcharges. Virgin Atlantic eventually notified authorities of the illegal activity — and in doing so escaped a penalty — while BA was fined last August.
