Die EU Kommission leitet Phase 2 der Überprüfung ein.
In particular, the Commission found that the transaction may reduce competition on:

  • Spanish domestic routes, notably on routes where high speed trains do not provide an alternative, and on routes between peninsular Spain and the Balearic and Canary Islands.
  • Short-haul routes between Madrid and some of the main EEA cities as well as on routes connecting Madrid and Israel, Morocco, the UK and Switzerland, on which both parties offer a direct connection.
  • Long-haul routes between Madrid and North and South America, on which both parties offer a direct connection and face competition from only few other competitors with a non-stop connection.
During its in-depth investigation the Commission will also assess:

  • If the parties' strong slot portfolio, in particular at Madrid-Barajas airport, could make it harder for other carriers to provide airline services.
  • The likely effects of the transaction on indirect connections, in particular on long-haul routes to South America, where either one or both of the parties have a convenient one-stop connection and where non-stop connections are limited.
  • The likely effects of the transaction on routes on which other airlines rely on access to the parties' domestic and short-haul network for their own operations, which could affect their services to international destinations also served by IAG.
The transaction was notified to the Commission on 11 December 2023. The Commission now has 90 working days, until 7 June 2024, to take a decision. The opening of an in-depth investigation does not prejudge the outcome of the investigation.

Die EU prüft hier nun ebenfalls (ähnliche LH+ITA):

Warum Lufthansa will, dass Air Europa definitiv bei IAG landet

So wie der deutsche Konzern bei ITA Airways, ringt auch IAG bei Air Europa mit den EU-Wettbewerbshütern. Jetzt unterstützt Lufthansa die Rivalin.


EU stoppt Untersuchung zur Air-Europa-Übernahme vorübergehend

Die EU-Wettbewerbshüter verwarnen IAG und pausieren den Genehmigungsprozess der lang geplanten Übernahme von Air Europa. Wie die EU-Kommission mitteilt, reichen die bisher angebotenen Zugeständnisse nicht aus.

IAG zeigt sich nun kompromissbereit: 40 Prozent der Flugfrequenzen von Air Europa könnten an Wettbewerber abgetreten werden, sagte IAG-Vorstandschef Luis Gallego der Zeitung "El País". "Es wird keine Strecke geben, auf der (Air Europa) und Iberia exklusiv fliegen. (...) Es wird immer einen Wettbewerber geben."

Derzeit gehe IAG das Netz "Strecke für Strecke" mit der EU-Kommission durch, so Gallego weiter. Mit den aktuellen Abhilfemaßnahmen gehe IAG um das Doppelte über die Angebote von 2020 und 2021 hinaus. Als mögliche Abnehmer von Air Europa-Slots werden die Konkurrenten Volotea und Ryanair gehandelt:

Ergebnis der Untersuchung der EU Kommission:
As a result of this in-depth investigation, the Commission is concerned that the transaction may:

  • Reduce competition on a certain number of Spanish domestic routes, notably on routes where high speed trains do not provide an alternative, and on routes between peninsular Spain and the Balearic and Canary Islands. On such routes, IAG and Air Europa compete head-to-head. For a few of these routes, there will be no direct competition after the transaction. For other routes, competition appears limited and comes primarily from regional Spanish airlines and low-cost airlines, such as Ryanair.
  • Reduce competition on a certain number of short-haul routes connecting Spain with countries in Europe and in the Middle East. On such routes, IAG and Air Europa compete or will compete head-to-head in the foreseeable future. Competition on such routes appears limited and comes primarily from low-cost carriers, such as Ryanair, who in many cases operate from more remote airports, or from the incumbent carrier of the destination country.
  • Reduce competition on a certain number of long-haul routes connecting in particular Spain with North and South America. On such routes, IAG and its joint venture partners compete or will compete head-to-head with Air Europa. For some of these routes, there will be no direct competition after the transaction. For other routes, competition from other airlines appears limited and both parties have relatively high market shares.
IAG hat nun bis 10.6.24 Zeit, mögliche Abhilfemaßnahmen vorzuschlagen.
