EU regulators to rule on Ryanair, Laudamotion deal by July 12

Reuters

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU antitrust regulators will decide by July 12 whether to wave through Irish budget airline Ryanair's (RYA.I) bid for a 75 percent stake in the rebranded former Niki airline Laudamotion, a filing on the European Commission site showed on Friday.

Europe's largest budget airline formally sought approval for the deal on Thursday as it moves to consolidate its foothold in Austria, a fast-growing hub for eastern European destinations. [nL5N1T14J4]

The EU competition enforcer can clear the deal with or without conditions or it can open a four-month investigation if it has serious concerns the deal may hurt competition.
