The European Commission has adopted
its first technical and informal green light for Lufthansa's
acquisition of a 41% stake in ITA Airways ahead of a July 4
deadline for OKing the merger deal, European sources close to
the dossier told ANSA Monday.
There has been "decisive progress" in the matter, the sources
said.
The deal envisages conditions to safeguard competition at
Milan's Linate Airport and on short and long range services, by
opening routes to rival airlines.
