(ANSA) – BRUSSELS, 07 MAY – Ita and Lufthansa are ready to cede 11 pairs of slots (22 return trips) at Milan-Linate to their competitors – including the low-cost Easyjet – and to freeze the alliance on airlines for two years international routes from Fiumicino to the United States and Canada, continuing to operate temporarily as competitors. These are, as far as we know, the main points of the commitments presented to the EU Commission to obtain the green light for the wedding. The proposals previously put forward by Lufthansa had been deemed insufficient by Brussels. The sending of the new commitments is considered positively in view of the EU examination. “If the serious competition problems cannot be resolved, we cannot approve the operation” between ITA and Lufthansa. The vice-president of the European Commission, Margrethe Vestager, said this, speaking to Politico.eu in Berlin in an interview conducted yesterday and published today on the European newspaper’s website.
