Wizz Air challenged Romanian competitor but will not be happy for this decision

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on Wednesday dismissed a challenge by Hungary’s Wizz Air of European Commission clearance for close to EUR 2m in state aid for Romanian airline TAROM.

The EC had cleared the state aid, in the spring of 2022, to compensate for damage suffered because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The court ruled that the aid was permitted and that the EC had correctly assessed the proportionality of the aid. It rejected Wizz Air’s arguments that the EC had not taken into account previous rescue aid granted to TAROM and that it had underestimated the competitive advantage obtained by TAROM.
