The AEA strongly supports the upcoming Aviation Summit in Salzburg under the chairmanship of the Austrian Presidency. The summit takes place from 4-5 May and will engage national and EU regulators in a high level dialogue with the aviation industry. The key objective of this dialogue between airlines, airports and governments is to promote the competitiveness of European air transport. Infrastructure, capacity, the internal and the external dimension of this industry are demanding simple and effective regulation. European air transport is the lubricator for the European economy and thus deserves regulation which keeps it strong in a world becoming increasingly global and thus flat.

The political part of the European Aviation Summit shall also set the scene for the signature of the air transport agreements between the EU and south east of Europe. Thus ensuring a common aviation area that is not restricted to European Member States only, but that promotes sustainable and innovative air transport and economic development across the whole European continent.
