A 100 percent state-owned airline is neither sensible nor sustainable, the Estonian head of the European Commission's Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport says, while the recent proposal to both amalgamate the three current state-owned aviation companies and lay the foundations for their part-privatization is a good one, he says.
The state plans to consolidate its three aviation firms into one holding organization, a move which would rationalize operations and reduce inefficiencies, it is argued, and even potentially pave the way to a privatization in the future. The move would also, perhaps paradoxically, make the three companies more independent of each other in business terms.
