The EU approved a plan Tuesday by the French government to inject up to 4 billion euros into Air France, hit by a collapse in passenger traffic during the pandemic.

The European Commission, which oversees the EU’s anti-trust regulator, said Air France would relinquish about 18 slots per day at Orly airport in Paris to ensure fair competition.

β€œThis gives competing carriers the chance to expand their activities at this airport, ensuring fair prices and increased choice for European consumers,” EU competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager said.
