Qantas should face “hundreds of millions” of dollars in penalties after the company engaged in deceitful advertising and sold tickets for flights that have already been canceled, according to the head of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).

“We think the penalties should be in the hundreds of millions, not tens of millions for breaches,” ACCC Chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb told ABC Radio National on Sept. 1.
