Sažetak
The overriding goal of the present paper is to provide a critical evaluation of the compatibility criteria for investment aid to airports in the light of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines. The subject matter will be analysed with reference to relevant Commission’s decisions, as well as European jurisprudence. Special attention will be paid to the responses given by the participants of the consultations on the draft guidelines. It will be shown that they had a significant impact on the final version of the new guidelines. The main shortcoming of the compatibility criteria will be indicated. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the conditions for investment aid to airports do not seem to take sufficient account of the market realities of the aviation sector, namely the fact that airport infrastructure is highly subsidised in other parts of the world. Moreover, it is the author’s contention that the order of the assessment of the compatibility conditions should be modified. Therefore, a proposition for a new approach in this regard will be presented.
