123The Commission states in its pleadings that the establishment of a connection between two airports as close as Paris and Amsterdam does not appear to be strategically viable. Thus, other airlines have commercial reasons more obvious than those of KLM to enter that market, as a passenger is unlikely to regard it as an advantage to be able to change at both Paris and Amsterdam. Since KLM's primary destinations from Amsterdam are the United States and the Far East, the applicant has not shown that KLM has a commercial interest in developing its operations from Paris since it benefits at Amsterdam from passengers in transit from the United States and local passengers heading to the Far East. Moreover, such a commercial strategy risks competing directly with the operations developed and centralised at Amsterdam and which appear to be an integral part of KLM's particular organisational structure. Lastly, considerable investment would be necessary without any clearly identifiable return, which significantly limits the pertinence of the applicant's allegation that KLM should be regarded as one of Air France's potential competitors at Paris.
