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

Neglecting even one part of the equation risks the success of the others. At #AviationSummit2025, airline CEOs called for urgent action from the 🇪🇺 Commission to strengthen #competitiveness, protect connectivity & support #decarbonisation. If we fail one, we risk losing them all.

🎤 A strong closing debate at #AviationSummit2025 with the CEOs of @AirFranceKLM, @IAG and @Ryanair, moderated by @richardquest. Key topics: ✈️ ATC delays 🛫 EU261 reform 🌍 SAF supply & ETS revenues 🎒 Policy alignment Thank you all for a great edition! #EUaviation #SAF #EUpolicy

✈️ SAF is critical to decarbonise aviation. A4E reaffirms its commitment to Net Zero by 2050 - but the ReFuel EU mandate is not delivering the affordable SAF market it promised. There is no more time - the EU_Commission & Member States must act now.

🛫 What does it take to secure a competitive & sustainable future for EU aviation? At #AviationSummit2025, panellists discussed: ✅ Supportive regulation ✅ SAF & long-term financing ✅ ETS revenues for decarbonisation ✅ Legal certainty & collaboration

✈️ A forward-looking keynote from Bruno Fichefeux of @Airbus at #AviationSummit2025: 🔹 Aviation is a strategic sector for 🇪🇺 🔹 Priorities must be embedded in #STIP 🔹 Hydrogen flight needs infrastructure & long-term support There is a short break, but we will be back soon🕒

✈️ What makes aviation a growth engine for Europe and what could hold it back? At #AviationSummit2025, clear: 🔹 Connectivity is not a luxury - it’s essential 🔹 Modernising outdated regulations is key 🔹 Investment in sustainability must be accelerated

Powerful keynote by Commissioner Tzitzikostas at #AviationSummit2025✈️ Aviation is a European success story but we can’t afford complacency. Priorities: 🔹Strengthen competitiveness & connectivity 🔹 Invest in sustainability 🔹 Balanced passenger rights 🔹 Efficient airspace

🛫Great opening keynote from the Polish EU Council Presidency at #AviationSummit2025: Key points: 🔹 Stronger aviation = stronger Europe 🔹 Competitiveness as the core of 🇪🇺transport policy 🔹 Support decarbonisation through #STIP 🔹 Modernise EU261 for both passengers & airlines

📸 Another highlight from #AviationSummit2025! We were honoured to welcome Commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas to meet with A4E airline CEOs & representatives. We’re especially grateful for the open exchange — and for his continued engagement with Europe’s aviation sector. #EUaviation #EUpolicy

#AviationSummit2025 officially kicked off ✈️ We started with a press conference from A4E MD Ourania Georgoutsakou & CEOs of Lufthansa, IAG, AirFranceKLM & Ryanair. 📣The message? EU Aviation needs decisive action and the right policies to preserve competitiveness and affordability.

Today, the European Commission announced its decision on Schiphol Airport under the Balanced Approach Procedure. The decision reinforces that cutting flights should not be the goal—achieving meaningful noise reduction should be, a goal which airlines are fully committed to. Our full reaction👇

Aviation needs: ✅ A clear strategy anchored in the Sustainable Transport Investment Plan #STIP ✅ An industrial plan for SAF ✅ Stronger financing ✅ support for R&D in next-gen aircraft & ATM 👉Read our reaction to the Clean Industrial Deal: bit.ly/3QDq5Vr

Europe’s airspace is fragmented & outdated, forcing planes onto inefficient routes, causing delays & more emissions. We can’t let this continue. Why airspace reform is key: ✅ Cut CO₂ by up to 10% ✅ Reduce delays #airspace #reform 👇
