Italy's antitrust regulator is set to drop a case launched against airlines over possible price fixing for flights last Christmas between the island of Sicily and mainland Italian cities, a senior official said on Thursday.
The investigation had targeted national operator ITA Airways as well as budget airlines EasyJet, Ryanair and Wizz Air.
Antitrust official Guido Stazi told parliament the regulator had found no evidence to conclude that prices of flights last December had been determined by "illicit coordination" among airline operators.
