# Commission Decision of 7 April 2004 relating to a proceeding pursuant to Article 81 of the EC Treaty concerning case COMP/A.38284/D2 Société Air France/Alitalia Linee Aeree Italiane SpAReport for the hearing published in OJ C 305, 9.12.2004. (notified under document number C(2004) 1307) (Only the English text is authentic) (2004/841/EC), Division (11)

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

It results from the Commission's assessment under Article 81 that there is a risk that the alliance eliminates competition in respect of a substantial part of air passenger services on seven ‘origin and destination’ pairs i.e. Paris–Milan, Paris–Rome, Paris–Venice, Paris–Florence, Paris–Bologna, Paris–Naples and Milan–Lyon. Prior to the alliance, Air France and Alitalia were the two main operators on these affected overlap markets, competing head-to-head. At the time of the notification, they had very high market shares on these seven O & D pairs. This goes for time-sensitive and flexibility-focused passengers as well as for price-sensitive passengers.
