Ryanair has lost another appeal against state aid provided to European carriers during the Covid-19 pandemic, this time in relation to Condor. The case refers to the approval by the European Commission in July 2021 of two loans granted by KfW, accompanied by a German state guarantee, to compensate Condor for damage caused by travel restrictions during the period between 17 March and 31 December 2020. The loans amounted to €400 million ($470 million), and the aid element was €144 million. Ryanair took issue with the aid portion and challenged the Commission's decision to approve it under European Union state-aid rules. On 25 June, the EU General Court dismissed Ryanair's action after finding that the Irish carrier had "not demonstrated that it is individually concerned by the Commission's decision, with the results that it cannot challenge the merits of that decision". The court found that Ryanair had "failed to demonstrate that the aid at issue is discriminatory vis-a-vis other airlines operating in Germany (in particular Ryanair itself), that it is disproportionate, or that it is contrary to the freedom of establishment and the freedom to provide services". In addition to the aforementioned aid, the Commission had approved €321 million of restructuring aid for Condor in July 2021, which Ryanair had also challenged. Ryanair's legal action against this aid measure prompted an annulment and an in-depth investigation. However, the aid was reinstated in April of this year after the probe found that Condor was implementing a "comprehensive package of restructuring measures" aimed at ensuring its long-term viability, and that the airline's new private investor, Attestor, was funding more than 70% of the restructuring costs. Ryanair has mounted several legal challenges against Covid-era state aid to various European airlines, with a mixed success rate.

The carrier issued a short statement at 7:45 Hawaiian standard time on 26 June saying that it has "taken steps to safeguard our operations, and our flights are operating safely and as scheduled".
