  • The General Court Dismisses the Actions Brought by the Airline Niki
    General Court of the European Union PRESS RELEASE No 54/15 Luxembourg, 13 May 2015 Judgments in Cases T-511/09 and T-162/10 Press and Information Niki Luftfahrt GmbH v Commission The General Court dismisses the actions brought by the airline Niki Luftfahrt against Lufthansa’s acquisition of Austrian Airlines and the restructuring aid granted by Austria to Austrian in that regard None of the arguments put forward by Niki is capable of casting doubt on the Commission’s authorisation of that concentration and that aid, which it granted subject to conditions Austrian Airlines is the largest Austrian airline.1 Its main hub is Vienna International Airport (Austria). Due to financial difficulties faced by Austrian Airlines, the Austrian State decided to privatise it in 2008 by selling its majority shareholding of 41.56%. The bid of Germany’s largest airline, Lufthansa, whose hubs are Frankfurt International Airport (Germany) and Munich airport (Germany), was retained.2 In exchange for the transfer of the shares held by the Austrian State, Lufthansa’s bid proposed (i) to pay a purchase price of €366 268.75, (ii) to grant a debtor warrant capable of giving rise to an additional payment of up to €162 million should Austrian Airlines’s financial situation improve and (iii) that the Austrian State3 pay Austrian Airlines a subsidy of €500 million by means of a securitisation structure to be used to increase the capital of Austrian Airlines. In addition, Lufthansa initiated a take-over bid for Austrian Airlines’s remaining floating shares, which more shareholders accepted than was required.

  • Lauda Contrails Copy
    Three-time Formula One world champion Niki Lauda has tested himself as few have. On the racetrack. In the boardroom. In the sky. His is a will literally forged by fire. He knows what he wants and usually gets it. Whatever the obstacle. His high-profile journey has taken him to his present position as founder and CEO of Lauda Air. From its headquarters in Vienna, its leading-edge fleet provides scheduled flights to five continents and charter services to some of the world’s premier business and vacation destinations. As of April 2000, Lauda Air joins the 11-member Star Alliance Network, comprised of such well-known airlines as Air Canada, Lufthansa and United. So what’s left? “The next two years we really have to make the alliance work well, for us and for them,” Niki Lauda says. “Personally, as long as I’m enjoying myself and have new challenges, I’ll continue what I’m doing. If that changes, I will think of something else.” As he has before.

  • Deregulation of Air Transport Agreements
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 23, Issue 6 1999 Article 16 Deregulation of Air Transport Agreements Robert Wolfger∗ ∗ Copyright c 1999 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Deregulation of Air Transport Agreements Robert Wolfger Abstract This essay briefly discusses the reality that I have experienced in air transport for some time. In this field, the world is still ruled by bilateral air transport agreements. Such bilateral agreements are even in force in Europe. This essay asks several questions. First, what does successful dereg- ulation in Europe really mean? Would deregulation be successful if many low-cost carriers flew throughout Europe and carried mostly point-to-point traffic from point A to B? I personally think that very few routes are suitable for this point-to-point traffic. DEREGULATION OF AIR TRANSPORT AGREEMENTS Dr. Robert Wolfger* Thank you for making it possible for me to take part in this Symposium. Normally, it means trouble for an airline when it is surrounded by so many lawyers. It means trouble because for many airlines, economic considerations, in whatever form, come first, and then competition law may hit. I represent a national airline here. Austrian Airlines is fifty- one percent owned by the Austrian state, a small state. Within this small state, there is limited competition. On the other hand, Austrian Airlines is a very small airline with only a two per- cent market share in Europe. In absolute size, Austrian Airlines ranks forty-ninth in the world.
