AEA welcomes EU’s external aviation policy as a building block for European Competitiveness

27-Sep-2012 The Association of European Airlines (AEA) has reacted favourably to the communication from the European Commission about EU's External Aviation Policy, presented by Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas earlier today. The Commission's ambitious package addresses several concerns raised by AEA: a need for fertile soil for its airlines to enable growth and facilitate prosperity in today's global aviation market. AEA stressed, however, that underlying a new approach to international relations must be a clear focus on added value to European network airlines.
