Aegean ed Olympic: fusione in vista?
- Autore Discussione sevs17
- Data d'inizio
Confermato il veto imposto dalla EU alla fusione Aegean-Olympic
***
Europe's top competition regulator has blocked the merger between Greek airlines Olympic Air and Aegean Airlines, saying a combined carrier could monopolize Greek air travel.
The European Commission said Wednesday a merger "would have led to higher fares for four out of six million Greek and European consumers traveling on routes to and from Athens each year."
It is the first time the Commission has blocked a deal since it squashed Ryanair Holdings PLC's attempt to take over Aer Lingus Group PLC in 2007.
When they announced the merger last February, Olympic and Aegean cited Greece's dire economic situation as one of the reasons for a combination. Greece received a euro110 billion ($151 billion) international bailout in May.

La UE è sempre forte con i deboli.
Non ha avuto niente da dire su AZ+AP, nemmeno a LIN
Non lo so. Per me in quel caso il Sultano, che aveva messo la faccia sull'operazione, aveva i santi in paradiso a BRU ed in qualche modo é stata fatta scivolare sotto il tappeto.
Quando una delle due sarà fallita ci sarà la medesima situazione.
La Grecia è troppo piccola per avere due vettori tradizionali.
Olympic nelle sue varie forme e Aegean anche lei nelle sue varie forme, ci sono sempre state... giusto che non ce ne sia solo una... a questo punto l'unica loro mossa potrebbe essere chiudere i battenti dell'una e l'altra acquisire gli aeromobili con nuovi contratti di leasing e i dipendenti?
