EU court rejects state aid to KLM but maintains that of Condor

The Court of Justice of the European Union annulled state aid to KLM while upholding aid to Condor. The ruling overturned a previous decision by the European Commission that approved €3.4 billion in aid to KLM, stating that the Commission erred by excluding Air France and its holding from beneficiaries. Conversely, the court confirmed the German government's approval of €321 million in aid to Condor, rejecting Ryanair's appeal against this decision.
