The concentration was assessed with regard to the market of transport of passengers on scheduled airlines and the market for the wholesale supply of airline seats to tour operators.
The College has decided that the concentration will not cause any significant restriction of competition on any of the concerned markets.
The proposed deal will result in the transfer of all 160 pilots and cabin crew, all flight slots and two aircraft from Thomas Cook Airlines to Brussels Airlines.
The other assets of Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium will be transferred to SHS Aviation (VLM Airlines).
Belgian Competition Authority (BCA) announced today that the transfer of certain assets of Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium to Brussels Airlines is permissible. The Competition Authority’s decision permits Brussels Airlines to request the airport slots in order to definitely commence the cooperation by the end of October.
