Aegean Airlines The Greek government in November set out plans to provide up to €120 million ($146 million) in state support for Aegean Airlines as part of a wider capital increase. Under the plan, the Greek state would receive warrants for the purchase of shares in the company. The European Commission approved the Greek investment, which is being made via a direct grant, on 23 December. Air Baltic The Latvian government’s €250 million recapitalisation of Air Baltic was approved by European regulators in July. The move took the Latvian state’s holding in the airline from 80% to above 96%. The state will receive an appropriate remuneration for the investment and there are additional mechanisms to incentivise Air Baltic to buy back the state’s equity participation obtained as a result of the recapitalisation.
