LONDON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - The British government's support
for regional airline Flybe is fully compliant with rules on
state aid, a spokesman for Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on
Wednesday, after British Airways owner IAG complained
to the European Union about it.
"The government is fully compliant with state aid rules and
there has been no state aid for Flybe," the spokesman told
reporters. "Any support that is given would be made on strictly
commercial terms," he added.
Proposed changes to air passenger duty would apply to all
airlines, he said.
