Virgin goes to Court

VIRGIN ATLANTIC (VS) Chief Executive Steve Ridgeway could find himself in the London High Court in January when proceedings come to a head regarding alleged collusion between the airline and British Airways over fuel price fixing.  Mr Ridgeway is immune from prosecution because VS brought the involvement to the authorities' attention.  On trial will be BA current Head of Sales Andrew (Drew) Crawley and former executives, ex-Commercial Director Martin George, ex-Head of Communications Iain Burns and ex-Head of Sales Alan Burnett.  Also mentioned in the preliminary hearing were Paul Moore, the former Communications Director who is now at First Group, and Willy Boulter, the former Virgin Operations Director. www.virginatlantic.com www.ba.com
