Single European Sky - EU leverer ikke

The Association of European Airlines has warned the EC that the region’s recovery could be jeopardised if conditions are not created by regulators to enable airlines to stimulate growth for other industries.

“Europe’s political leaders need to get serious about the growth agenda and provide fertile soil for its key industries to develop,” said AEA Chairman Bernard Gustin. “For the airline sector, this means a global solution on emissions trading, a Single European Sky which actually delivers and an end to economically-illiterate regulation.”

While Lufthansa’s CEO, Christoph Franz added “We welcome the Commission’s efforts to push through the Single European Sky, but we are furious that the largest EU Member States are simply not delivering. This fragmentation is ridiculous and unacceptable. The Commission must stand firm, rejecting every national performance plan that falls short of the EU-wide target. We will give them our full support in this initiative.”
