Press Release: State aid: Commission approves three aid schemes for the French aviation sector

On 7 April 2015, the European Commission approved, for the first time, three state aid schemes for airports and airlines on the basis of the new Guidelines on State aid to airports and airlines adopted in February 2014.

The Commission considered, in particular, that these schemes for the French aviation sector promote regional connectivity without causing undue distortion of competition in the Single Market. The schemes were set to enable France to grant individual aid that complies with the criteria laid down in the Guidelines without further intervention by the Commission.
