Abstract
Covid-19 has been a major shock for European aviation. After the general relaxation of state aid rules by the European Commission, Member States stepped in to support airlines, airports and other stakeholders in aviation. However, distribution of state resources raised significant doubts from competitors, as well as academic literature, with regard to the conditions of the aids and their effect on competition. A two-round Delphi study was employed in order to investigate the opinion of experts in European aviation, with the participation of thirty experts from airlines, airports, handling agents, government authorities and academia. The results show an overall appraisal of the European framework and its flexibility, but also desire for a greater degree of control, complaints over bureaucracy and procedural delays, as well as concern on the effects of state aid on competition in the internal aviation market.
