The EU Commission has formalised its preliminary findings on the project to acquire joint control of Ita with Lufthansa and the Italian Ministry of Economy.
The fear is that the merge will result in higher prices for customers and lower service quality.
In detail, it states that
it may reduce competition on a number of short-haul routes
connecting Italy to central European countries, as well as on
some long-haul routes between Italy and the United States,
Canada, and Japan. Alternatively, it might create or strengthen
Ita's dominant position at Milan-Linate Airport.
