OREANDA-NEWS. January 17, 2012. The 9th Arbitration Appeal Court in Moscow ruled in support of the judgment of Moscow Arbitration Court that had pronounced legitimacy of FAS decision and determination regarding “State ATM Corporation” Federal State Unitary Enterprise, reported the press-centre of FAS Russia.

On 11th April 2011, FAS found that “State ATM /Air Traffic Management/ Corporation” Federal State Unitary Enterprise violated Clauses 5 and 8 Part 1 Article 10 of the Federal Law “On Protection of Competition”.

“State ATM Corporation” evaded a contract with “Skytest” Air Company” CJSC for the works for flights reviews of the ground aids for radiotechnical communications and navigational equipment by “State ATM Corporation”.

As a result of abusing dominant position by “State ATM Corporation” on the market of flights reviews of the grounds aids for radiotechnical navigational equipment, aeronautical telecommunications and lightning facilities of civil airdromes in the Russian Federation, “Skytest” Air Company” CJSC was effectively pushed away from the market and for a long time was unable to exercise economic activities.

Having investigated the case, FAS issued a determination to “State ATM Corporation”: it must conclude a contract with “Skytest” Air Company” CJSC for the works for flights reviews of the ground aids for radiotechnical communications and navigational equipment by “State ATM Corporation”.

“State ATM Corporation” filed a lawsuit challenging FAS decision and determination. The findings of the Courts of two instances supported the position of the antimonopoly authority. As FAS decision and determination come into force, “Skytest” Air Company” CJSC will now be able to exercise its statutory activity.
