La Commissione Europea ha reso noto che, in data 13 dicembre, ha ispezionato gli uffici di Brussels Airlines a Bruxelles e di TAP Portugal a Lisbona, nell'ambito di indagini riguardanti un possibile cartello sulla rotta BRU-LIS.
Le due compagnie sono entrambe in Star Alliance e operano in code-share su questa rotta.
Nella comunicazione comunitaria si legge:
While the commission was so far rather concerned about possible effects that code-share agreements may have had for consumers, it now has, in addition, reasons to suspect illegal collusion between the parties.
The commission fears TAP and Brussels Airlines may have violated EU antitrust rules that prohibit cartels and restrictive business practices.
