Press Release: State aid: Commission opens in-depth inquiry into state measures in favour of Slovenian airline Adria Airways

The European Commission has opened an in-depth investigation to verify whether a number of public support measures in favour of the Slovenian airline Adria Airways are in line with EU state aid rules. These measures include four capital injections between 2007 and 2011 amounting to around €85.5 million. The Commission has doubts that they were granted on market terms. The opening of an in-depth investigation gives interested third parties an opportunity to submit comments on the measures under assessment. It does not prejudge the outcome of the investigation.
