Porozumienia między portami lotniczymi a przewoźnikami w świetle prawa konkurencji Unii Europejskiej
Agreements between Airports and Carriers in the Light of EU Competition Law

Summary/Abstract: Agreements between airports and carriers, similarly to all vertical agreements, can cause harm to the market, primarily when the balance between the undertakings concerned is disturbed and dependence emerges. In air transport, such relationships have been considered largely through the lens of State aid law, since the subsidization of airports makes its activities imputable to the State. Recourse to competition law – namely Articles 101 and 102 TFEU – should be perceived as an alternative, required in the light of the gradual withdrawal of State funding for airport operations. This paper provides an overview of the anticompetitive mechanism highlighted above, explores possibilities and challenges for the application of competition rules as well as provides de lege ferenda conclusions
