Guys , since you ask , the following article can be found in the www.ft.com archives.

Maersk Air bosses sacked

A controversy surrounding illegal price fixing on Scandinavian airline routes claimed its first management victims with the dismissal of the board chairman and managing director of Maersk Air, the Danish airline owned by the AP Moller group.

Bjarne Hansen, who is known in Denmark as "Mr Maersk Air" because of his pivotal role in getting the airline off the ground in 1970, was forced to resign from two prestigious posts - chairman of the airline's board as well the role of partner in the AP Moller group.

The other victim, Ole Dietz, lost his post as managing director of Maersk Air and is being moved to another job with the parent group in Singapore.

Maersk McKinney Moller, the octogenarian chairman of the AP Moller group, on Wednesday described the collusion between Maersk Air and SAS as "an unfortunate and isolated occurrence".
