Secured in Excess of $1.2 Billion in Settlements in Air Cargo Shipping Services Antitrust Litigation

In re Air Cargo Shipping Services Antitrust Litigation, 06-md-01775 (E.D.N.Y.)

The plaintiffs’ cumulative recoveries in this decade-long litigation surpassed $1.2 billion. As court-appointed co-lead counsel, Robins Kaplan represented businesses that purchased airfreight services directly from defendants, many of the world’s largest airlines. In a case referred to by the court as “irrefutably complex,” plaintiffs alleged that defendants participated in a global conspiracy to unlawfully inflate the prices charged to ship goods by air transportation between January 1, 2000, and September 30, 2006.
