Month of Issue

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Written by Aviation Advocacy on . Posted in Air traffic management, Airlines

Last month saw the release of a report commissioned by IATA on the economic benefits of modernising European airspace. It estimates total benefits worth between €126 billion and €245 billion by 2035. (Incidentally, a 2011 report in by the consultancy McKinsey put the benefits at €419 billion by 2030 alone. Have the delays in implementing the Single European Sky (SES) already wiped out €200 billion of benefits?) The purpose of this report is discussed in this month’s Aviation Intelligence Reporter. Think winning hearts and minds. Or rather, bribing hearts and wallets. It is an attempt to persuade member states of the importance of implementing the SES as soon as possible. The Commission, for too long the misplaced target of the airlines’ ire, must also engage in winning hearts and minds. For the current SES packages to succeed, ANSPs and member states need to be persuaded that there is something in it for them There is one issue in this report that is worth further discussion.
