State aid for airports & airlines

September 12, 2013

On 3 July 2013 the European Commission published revised draft guidelines on State aid to airports and airlines. The guidelines need to be urgently reconsidered as they risk further distorting competition, wasting scare public resources and expanding billions of euros in climate harmful subsidies.

T&E’s briefing on state aid for airports and airlines can be found below, as well as a letter to Commissioner Almunia outlining T&E’s concerns in relation to the draft guidelines.
