LONDON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - British airways-owner IAG
said it has filed a complaint with the EU about UK
government support for Flybe which helped stave off the regional
carrier's collapse.
The airline group has asked the European Union's
Directorate-General for Competition to look into whether UK
support for Flybe constitutes a breach of EU rules over
providing state aid.
IAG's chief executive Willie Walsh has publicly criticised
support agreed by the UK government on Tuesday as a misuse of
public funds.
