It is essential to ensure that environmental initiatives, such as CORSIA, ETS, and ReFuel Aviation, are appropriately tailored to the aviation industry and contribute effectively to mitigating its environmental impact.

As a Member of the Expert Group on Climate Change Policy for Aviation of DG CLIMA, AIRE is deeply committed to the latest developments in sustainability.

AIRE endorses air passenger rights legislation that incorporates fair and reasonable provisions for both airlines and consumers.

Consequently, AIRE welcomes the two proposals put forth by the European Commission on November 29, 2023 concerning Passenger Rights, as the existing regulations are considerably outdated.

AIRE actively collaborates with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to shape regulatory frameworks, ensuring that industry perspectives are integrated into the development of aviation safety regulations and standards.

By engaging in this process, AIRE helps to align industry needs with EASA's regulatory objectives, promoting a balanced approach to aviation safety and development.

It is of utmost relevance to address the challenges of integrating various modes of transport in a more sustainable manner, while ensuring full compliance with the rights of passengers and individuals with Reduced Mobility (PRMs).

Furthermore, AIRE is deeply engaged in the Sectorial Social Dialogue Committee for Civil Aviation (SSDC Civil Aviation), actively participating as a Social Partner.
