✅ #Fusionskontrolle: Das Bundeskartellamt hat den beabsichtigten Erwerb einer Minderheitsbeteiligung der Deutschen Lufthansa AG (Lufthansa) an der airBaltic Corporation AS (airBaltic) heute fusionskontrollrechtlich freigegeben. 🔎 Gegenstand des Fusionskontrollverfahrens war zunächst die Bewertung einzelner Flugstrecken, wie sie auch nach ständiger europäischer Fusionskontrollpraxis abgegrenzt werden. Dabei kann das Bundeskartellamt nur solche vom Zusammenschlussvorhaben betroffene Flugverbindungen untersuchen, von denen eine Inlandsauswirkung ausgeht. Dies betrifft zahlreiche Flugverbindungen zwischen Deutschland und dem Baltikum. Auf einer Reihe dieser Strecken stehen die Unternehmen in enger Konkurrenz zueinander, ohne dass es andere direkte Wettbewerber gäbe. 🔴 Ein Zusammenschluss von Lufthansa und airBaltic könnte auf diesen Strecken zu wettbewerblichen Problemen führen. Bagatellmarktklausel: 👉 In der Fusionskontrolle gilt jedoch die gesetzliche Bagatellmarktklausel. Danach können Zusammenschlüsse nicht untersagt werden, wenn die betroffenen Märkte eine sehr geringe wirtschaftliche Bedeutung haben (Inlandsmarktvolumen von weniger als 20 Mio. Euro). Auf den problematischen Strecken war dies hier der Fall. Auf weiteren Strecken lagen die Untersagungsvoraussetzungen nicht vor. Für den Bereich des europäischen Wetlease-Geschäfts ist die Vereinbarung zwischen der airBaltic und Lufthansa wettbewerblich unbedenklich. Die Ermittlungen haben gezeigt, dass neben airBaltic zahlreiche alternative Wetlease-Geber und neben Lufthansa auch weitere große Wetlease-Nehmer in Europa existieren, so dass Abschottungswirkungen nicht zu befürchten waren. ℹ️ Das Vorhaben unterlag der deutschen und nicht der europäischen Fusionskontrolle.

Today in 2009 Daimler acquired 10% of Tesla At the time, Tesla would not have survived without Daimler's investment. Daimler saw Tesla more as an experiment to find out whether BEVs could work, but not as a change in the company's strategy or technology they took serious for their future. To Daimler's surprise, Tesla delivered the promised key components such as the battery and drivetrain for the jointly developed electric version of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class. This was mainly thanks to Elon, who made the impossible, possible. Daimler was then worth 75 times as much as Tesla in 2009. In 2014, the company had sold all its shares for less than a billion dollars and proudly called it a great deal in the press. Today, the shares Daimler sold are worth about 100 times as much, and back in 2014 I called it the dumbest decision Daimler had ever made and went all in. Daimler paid $50 million for a Tesla stake that would be today worth more than $100 billion. But even worse they lost all the technology know-how they could have absorbed and used to Mercedes-Benz to survive..

Every airline will install Starlink in the next 2-3 years. I will only fly with Starlink when given the choice and most business travelers are like me.

Glückwunsch zur Wahl, freue mich das wir jetzt eine Regierung haben die ganz Europa nach vorne bringen wird.

I love both cities 😊
We’re celebrating 20 years of connecting 🇱🇻 Riga and 🇩🇪 Munich! Munich has always been a key destination for us, with more and more passengers choosing it each year. Today, traveling from the Baltics to Southern Germany is easier than ever, with up to 21 flights every week: go.airbaltic.com/AkHZdLY

Today, my journey as CEO of @airBaltic comes to an end. The Latvian government, as majority shareholder, has withdrawn its trust — and the Supervisory Board has acted accordingly. I leave after 13 intense years, proud of what we built: a resilient airline, a loyal team, and a bold vision. I gave everything — and I would do it again. Thank you to those who stood by me. The mission continues, even if the seat changes.

If economic relations are understood the impact of airBaltic is outstanding.

I’m only flying United going forward — not kidding
The world's fastest, most reliable Wi-Fi in the sky, @Starlink, has officially landed on our first aircraft, with the rest of our fleet to follow. That means you'll be able to stream, browse and game just like you do at home. And the icing on the digital cake? Starlink will be FREE when you have an (also free!) MileagePlus membership. Make sure you're ready to connect: united.com/starlink

Oh, what a #ThrowbackThursday moment! ✈️ From 1 to 50 – 2,990 days apart, but the same excitement! In 2016, we welcomed our first of this aircraft type. Now, in 2025, we proudly fly with our 50th @Airbus A220-300. Innovation and growth take us higher – here’s to the next 50!🚀
