BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Europe’s top court on Thursday dismissed Hungarian low-cost airline Wizz Air’s appeal against 36.66 million euros of rescue aid granted by Romania to its pandemic-hit carrier TAROM in 2020.
“The Court dismisses Wizz Air’s appeal concerning the rescue aid granted by Romania to TAROM.
That aid, amounting to 36,660,000 euros, is compatible with European Union law,” the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) said.
The case is C-440/22 P Wizz Air Hungary v Commission.
