I called on Europe’s leaders, meeting in Vienna, to knock down barriers that limit the economic and social benefits that Europe’s aviation sector can generate,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO, in an address to the European Aviation Summit in Vienna.
In 2036, 1.5 billion travelers will need to travel to/from/within Europe, creating jobs and driving a modern globally-connected economy. But Europe’s preparation to accommodate this growth—and reap the economic benefits—is not adequate.
Calling for a strengthening of the European Aviation strategy, de Juniac proposed four key areas where the Austrian EU Presidency could improve the Continent’s competitiveness by shoring up the aviation sector:
Improving air traffic management (ATM) performance;
Maximizing the potential of current airport infrastructure;
Enhancing competitiveness by reducing regulatory and cost burdens;
Ensuring that borders are open to people and trade.
