airBaltic joins Airlines for Europe airline association

airBaltic joined (21-Oct-2016) Airlines for Europe (A4E), becoming the first Eastern European carrier to join the airline association. airBaltic CEO Martin Gauss said: "Representing the Eastern European hemisphere we will deliver new, important insights of smaller but fast growing markets within the European Union." A4E MD Thomas Reynaert said: "It is on A4E and its growing membership base to ensure the importance of our sector is acknowledged in Brussels and the Member States." airBaltic joins A4E after a busy summer campaigning on minimising the impact of air traffic control (ATC) strikes, removing unreasonable taxes and lowering the cost of the EU's airports. A4E and its member airlines have also been involved supporting the ICAO process on a global scheme to address carbon emissions from international aviation. [more - original PR]
