BRUSSELS, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Europe's second top court on
Wednesday backed German airline Lufthansa and British
peer easyJet's acquisitions of insolvent German carrier
Air Berlin's assets four years ago.
The Luxembourg-based General Court's ruling came after
Polish rival LOT took the European Commission to court for
approving both deals.
"The General Court dismisses the actions of Polskie Linie
Lotnicze 'LOT' against the Commission decisions authorising the
mergers concerning the acquisition by easyJet and Lufthansa,
respectively, of certain assets of the Air Berlin group," judges
said.
The cases are T-240/18 Polskie Linie Lotnicze "LOT" v
Commission and T-246/18 Polskie Linie Lotnicze "LOT" v
Commission.
