(Case T-218/18)

Language of the case: German
Parties
Applicant: Deutsche Lufthansa AG (Cologne, Germany) (represented by: A. Martin-Ehlers, lawyer)
Defendant: European Commission
Form of order sought
The applicant claims that the Court should:
—
annul the decision of the European Commission of 31 July 2017 in Case SA.47969, C(2017)5289 — Hahn Airport;
—
order the defendant to pay the costs of the proceedings.
Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicant alleges, in essence, the following:
—
procedural errors, as the defendant made a ‘deal’ with the Federal Republic of Germany with regard to the assessment of the aid granted to Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn GmbH (‘FFHG’) and Ryanair;
—
failure to take into account certain essential factual elements, despite the fact that the defendant was fully aware of these at the time when the contested decision was adopted;
—
partially incorrect representation of the facts of the case;
—
failure to take into account other aid in favour of FFHG that was ultimately passed on to Ryanair as the principal user of the airport.
