During the Airlines 4 Europe Aviation Summit on March 31 in Brussels, the lobby group once again raised the topic of the Single European Sky (SES). And voiced its frustrations over the lack of progress that has been made on improving the efficiency of air traffic management in Europe. Not only for operational reasons but as an easy means to reduce carbon emissions by some ten percent. In conversation: Thomas Reynaert A4E on Europe’s lobby.
SES has been on the agenda of each of the six A4E Aviation Summits in the past few years but still hasn’t been implemented. AirInsight talked to Managing Director Thomas Reynaert about his frustrations, the lobby for SES, and its alternative strategy presented during the summit to liberalize air traffic management in Europe to improve ATM efficiency.
