Airlines for Europe
Trade association of European airlines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Airlines for Europe (A4E) is the largest EU airline association, representing 70% of European air traffic.
History
A4E was founded in January 2016 by Europe's five largest carriers: Air France–KLM Group, easyJet, International Airlines Group, Lufthansa Group and Ryanair Holdings and serves as a lobbying group for European commercial airlines in Brussels.
A4E currently counts 16 leading airline groups as its members. New carriers both big and small, from low-cost to leaser, legacy and cargo have joined A4E. Beyond airlines, global manufacturers such as Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, GE, and Thales are also members of A4E.[3]
Objectives
The main goal of this association is to address key policy issues affecting passengers and cargo while promoting long-term solutions to benefit Europe's aviation sector, including:
- Improving European airspace efficiency and securing a Single European Sky.
- Revising Europe's Air Passenger Rights legislation.
- Improving safety and security measures for airlines and their passengers.
- Tackling airport market power and excessive aviation taxes and charges.
- Moving towards a zero or low-carbon economy and thereby supporting efforts to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement.[4]
