Ryanair Airlines has filed a complaint to the EU antitrust authorities about illegal talks between Lufthansa’s Italian unit Air Dolomiti and three Italian airlines to fix prices, Reuters reported referring to Ryanair's chief lawyer Juliusz Gomorek.

The complaint also provides information on alleged price-fixing in Austria involving Lufthansa’s Austrian Airlines.

“I can confirm that the price fixing cartel complaint was filed with the European Commission,” Ryanair’s Juliusz Gomorek told reporters. 

“In Austria, where Lufthansa has a subsidiary, in the context of the bailout of that subsidiary, we have government officials talking about potentially introducing minimum prices,” he said.

The European Commission said it had received a complaint and will consider it.

Last week the chief lawyer wrote to European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager’s head of cabinet Kim Jorgensen urging for action against Lufthansa’s Air Dolomiti, Alitalia, Neos and Blue Panorama.
