The EUR 600 million loan and the EUR 300 million loan granted by Italy respectively on 2 May 2017 and 16 October 2017 in favour of Alitalia – Società Aerea Italiana S.p.A. in amministrazione straordinaria, constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
