The Dutch gov's approach to noise at Schiphol raises serious concerns. Targeting only commercial aviation is discriminatory & risks discouraging investment in cleaner aircraft. Together with European Regions Airline Association (ERA) & IATA, we call for fair, effective solutions. #Schiphol #Aviation

Throwback ⏲️ In a strong keynote at #AviationSummit2025, Marcin Rzeszewicz, on behalf of @POLAND25EU, stressed an excellent key point: Transport, competitiveness & security go hand in hand, and aviation is central to all three. A stronger aviation sector means a safer Europe ✈️

The cost of flying in Europe is rising fast - in 10 years, compliance and inefficiency costs have tripled, reaching 15.5 billion in 2024📈 #Decarbonisation, #efficiency & #competitiveness are intertwined goals. Neglecting one risks failing them all. We need smart policies now.

A new Steer projection shows a widening gap: by 2030, #compliance & inefficiency costs for EU airlines could be 5x higher than in 2014 - while passenger numbers won’t even double. Europe needs smart, balanced policies now to protect a vital strategic sector. #Aviation

“The world is moving fast - those who hesitate today will be left behind.” More than a week on, Commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas' #AviationSummit2025 keynote still resonates. Sustainability, resilience & competitiveness must go hand in hand - and we are ready to collaborate🤝

2 weeks ago at #AviationSummit2025, our first panel asked: what makes aviation a growth engine for 🇪🇺, and what could hold it back? 👇 🔹 #Connectivity is not a luxury, it’s essential 🔹 Modernising outdated regulations is key 🔹 Investment in sustainability must be accelerated

Today at Routesonline Europe 2025 in Seville, our MD @OuraniaGeorg shared how to keep 🇪🇺 aviation competitive, connected & sustainable. From airspace reform to scaling up investment in SAF, the industry is committed. Now we need the right mix of 🇪🇺 policies to make it happen ✈️

It was the last keynote before lunch - but so compelling, no one rushed to the buffet 👏 🔹 Aviation is a strategic sector for 🇪🇺 🔹 Priorities must be embedded in #STIP 🔹 Hydrogen flight needs dedicated infrastructure & long-term support Thank you Bruno Fichefeux! Airbus

🛫 Two weeks ago at #AviationSummit2025, panellists explored what it takes to secure a competitive & sustainable future for EU aviation: ✅ Supportive regulation ✅ SAF & long-term financing ✅ ETS revenues for decarbonisation ✅ Legal certainty & stronger collaboration

It was the punchy closing debate with the CEOs of AirFranceKLM, IAG & Ryanair - moderated by Richard Quest quest - which closed #AviationSummit2025. Topics included: 🔹 ATC delays 🔹 EU261 reform 🔹 SAF & ETS revenues 🔹 Policy alignment The 🍒 on top to close a great event

This Easter, more Europeans took to the skies - but delays increased even faster. Comparing Easter week 2025 vs. Easter week 2024: 🔹 Traffic ⬆️ 19.7% 🔹 ATFM delay ⬆️ 68.3% 🔹 En-route delay ⬆️ 128.9% #AirspaceReform is overdue - let's make Europe's skies ready to deliver.

The cost of doing business for European airlines could hit €27.6B by 2030. Key drivers: 🔺 Implementation of SAF mandate & ETS costs: ⬆️ €6.2B/year 🔺SES inefficiencies: ⬆️ €2.8B/year 🔺Introduction of CSRD and CS3D Aviation cannot fall behind. It's time for 🇪🇺 to act.

One month on, the key messages from #AviationSummit2025 still resonate✈️ 🇪🇺Aviation needs: ✅ Supportive regulation & legal certainty ✅ SAF & long-term financing ✅ ETS revenues for #decarbonisation ✅ stronger collaboration Thank you all for a great edition!

✈️ is already part of 🇪🇺 multimodal journeys, with 36% of travellers combining air & rail, 29% air & bus. To improve #multimodality: 🎟️ Align tickets' availability windows 🧩 Integrate tools to avoid double billing 🚉 Invest in rail-air integration Let's fix the gaps💡

By 2030, #Compliance costs for 🇪🇺 airlines could hit €27.6B. Key drivers: 🔹 #ETS costs & #SAF mandate implementation: +€6.2B 🔹 Taxation: +€1.4B 🔹 Operational costs: +€1.5B 🔹 #SES inefficiencies: +€2.9B It is time to act to keep aviation competitive.

The cost of flying in 🇪🇺 is climbing fast — in just 10 years, compliance and inefficiency costs have tripled, hitting €15.5 billion in 2024 📈 #Decarbonisation, #Efficiency & #Competitiveness go hand in hand. Overlooking one puts them all at risk. We need smart policies now.

A4E has long called for reform of #EU261. Current rules are unclear and fall short of helping #passengers reach their destination swiftly. We need: 🔹 Updated delay thresholds 🔹 Clear list of extraordinary circumstances 👉bit.ly/3S5P6cz

From insulin to oncology treatments, every shipment counts. Every minute matters. For time-critical, high-value goods like medicines and vaccines, there’s no alternative to air cargo✈️ Watch how Lufthansa Cargo makes it work👇 #Pharma #AirCargo #HealthcareLogistics

Why Europeans hesitate to book multimodal trips: 🔹 (25%) too long 🔹 (20%) too expensive 🔹 (17%) no good combos 🔹 (13%) fear of missed connections We need rules protecting passengers while reflecting operational realities to ensure sustainability, affordability & efficiency.
