T&E provided a detailed submission to the European Commission's public consultation on aviation competitiveness, which closed on 10 June 2015.
T&E’s response to this consultation is to call for the EU to adopt measures that create a more efficient aviation sector, making EU operators the market leaders globally. This includes adopting the most effective environmental standards possible, ending inefficient subsidies to operators and airports and adopting a common EU negotiating position for air service agreements to prevent excess capacity in the European market. With aviation emissions projected to grow considerably by 2030, such measures are necessary to meet the EU’s ambitious climate objectives.
