Abstract
Paper provides for a systematic overview of the EU scheme for the State aid rules
applicable to the air transport sector during Covid-19 crisis. The COVID-19 outbreak is
having a major impact on European air transport sector. In order to help air transport
undertakings in Europe to overcome the financial troubles, to preserve jobs, to secure supply
of essential food, medicals or other items, etc., the EU Commission adopted set of legislative
measures enabling the EU Commission and Member States to authorise hundreds of State
aid measures, not only to air transport sector, but also to other economic sectors, which were
mostly affected by the pandemic. Since in normal circumstances member states State aid to
national undertakings are subject to extremely stringent EU competition law regime, the
intention of this paper is, firstly, to analyse to what extent and under what conditions that
has changed during pandemic. Secondly, the intention of the paper is to explore to what
extent and for what purposes different Member States granted State aid to their airline
industries with special respect to the French, Austrian, Swedish and Croatian State aid
policy. Lastly, the authors will raise question whether massive capital injection to air
transport companies being made only by certain, wealthier, member states are going, in long
term, to cause negative impacts on the competition in the air transport sector in the internal
market
