Ryanair Holdings Plc suffered a setback in its latest effort to challenge the European Union’s approval of government aid to rival airlines at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, including more than €272 million ($288 million) for Alitalia SpA.

The EU’s General Court dismissed a series of separate cases brought by Ryanair on Wednesday, without providing the full reasoning of the court.
