Luis Gallego, the CEO of International Airlines Group (IAG), has raised concerns regarding the European Union's competition rules, which he believes make a bid for easyJet 'very difficult.'
Gallego is advocating for a reassessment of how the EU evaluates airline mergers and acquisitions, suggesting that the existing framework may hinder necessary industry consolidation.
This call for change comes amid ongoing discussions about the future landscape of the aviation sector, where competition and regulatory challenges remain prominent.
