EU review of airline ownership rules could complicate Apollo’s easyJet takeover bid

The EU's impending review of airline ownership rules might pose challenges for Apollo's proposed takeover of easyJet, as Brussels aims to tighten its oversight of deals that could let non-European investors gain control over regional carriers. This move could complicate Apollo's bid and affect similar deals in the future. Such scrutiny highlights the EU's focus on maintaining control over its aviation industry, which could have broader implications for how international investments in European airlines are regulated.
