Air France-KLM, Alitalia, Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines are just a few of the airlines that will receive high government loans. Easyjet now also wants to counter this.

After Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary, the general director of the competitor Easyjet, Johan Lundgren, is now clearer when it comes to state aid for various airlines. He criticized the news magazine "Der Spiegel", That" billions and billions are being distributed across Europe via some of the most inefficient, climate-damaging, worst airlines in Europe ".

The Easyjet boss expects the EU Commission to put a stop to the distribution of funds to a few selected carriers, including Lufthansa. He also demands that state support must be open to all airlines due to the corona pandemic, but that this is not the case in many countries. This would lead to a considerable distortion of competition.
