		</div><p>The European Union competition watchdog has approved Germany&#8217;s plan to provide troubled low-cost carrier Air Berlin with a €150m loan.</p>
<p>The European Commission, which polices EU state aid rules, said the loan &#8220;will allow for the orderly wind-down of the insolvent airline Air Berlin without unduly distorting competition&#8221;. The Commission also said the move would help protect the interests of air travellers.</p>
<p>Air Berlin, Germany&#8217;s second-largest carrier, said last month that it was filing for bankruptcy after its main shareholder, Abu Dhabi-based Etihad, decided to cut its financing.</p>
<p>To allay travellers&#8217; fears they might be stranded on summer holiday, the government announced that it would provide a loan so the airline could continue flights for the time being.</p>
