The European Commission blocked in February 2013 a third attempt by Ryanair to take over rival Irish airline Aer Lingus. In its ruling issued on the 27 February 2013, the Commission said the merger would have harmed consumers, reduced choice and led to increased prices for passengers travelling in and out of Ireland. Aer Lingus welcomed the decision and said 'Ryanair's offer should never have been made'. Ryanair said it would appeal against the judgment. |
