The CJEU annulled the ruling on public aid for KLM worth 3.4 billion euros

The case involves state aid provided to KLM by the Netherlands during the Covid-19 pandemic, aimed at ensuring financial liquidity. Ryanair challenged the European Commission's decision to grant aid exclusively to KLM, leading to multiple court rulings. The EU Court annulled the Commission's approval but acknowledged KLM's operational autonomy within the Air France-KLM group. The case is now sent back for further examination by the EU Court.
