    Lufthansa sweetens long-haul concessions to gain EU okay for ITA deal, sources say

    Lufthansa boosted concessions to soothe competition concerns over long-haul flights to help it win over EU regulators in its bid for a stake in Italy's ITA Airways, three people with direct knowledge of the matter said on Monday. The European Commission, which acts as the EU competition enforcer, has warned that the deal may reduce competition in Italian short-haul and long-haul flights, with the latter seen as the most difficult to resolve. Under Lufthansa's latest concessions, two rivals can take some of ITA's flights and turn them into indirect flights with a stopover in another EU city, and onwards to U.S. destinations including San Francisco and Washington, the people said.
