The allegations of cartel practices related to soaring ticket rates and cargo transportation in the national aviation industry have emerged since the end of 2018, and until now the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) continued to try to examine these allegations. A few months ago, the KPPU stated that they had escalated the status of research on the report of the allegations to an official investigation. At this stage, the investigators should gather the evidence needed to continue the investigation to the examination stage.

Recently, KPPU even threatened to report this matter to the police if the parties were still absent from the investigation process.
