A pre-trial hearing into allegations of fuel surcharge price fixed brought against existing and former British Airways executives is due to start today.
The four are expected to plead not guilty at Southwark Crown Court in London, according to reports.
The case is based on alleged price fixing of fuel surcharges on long haul passenger flights between BA and Virgin Atlantic between July 2004 and April 2006.
Virgin alerted the authorities to the alleged price fixing and the Office of Fair Trading issued cartel offence charges against the four men last year.
They are BA head of sales Andrew Crawley, former commercial director Martin George, ex-head of communications Iain Burns and former head of UK and Ireland sales Alan Burnett.
