AIRE advocates for a broad range of sustainable aviation solutions, from accelerating the production and use of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) to advocating for a regulatory framework that fosters innovation and environmental responsibility.

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 supports air passenger rights legislation that contains fair and reasonable provisions for both airlines and consumers. AIRE considers that the revision of Regulation (EC) 261/2004 is crucial for ensuring legal certainty and balancing consumer and industry interests.

We find that the current Regulation 261/2004 is overly general, also vague on key points, leading to numerous court rulings across the EU with judges interpreting the Regulation in widely varying and often conflicting ways.

Since aviation is instrumental in promoting economic growth, mobility, trade and jobs for the EU, AIRE believes that is essential to ensure the connectivity of all European regions.

Airport infrastructure is crucial for facilitating efficient and safe air travel, boosting economic growth,and enhancing global connectivity. It supports the movement of passengers and goods, promotes tourism, and attracts business investments, while also creating jobs and driving regional developments

AIRE considers that a socially responsible aviation sector not only enhances its reputation but also attracts a broader talent pool, improves employee satisfaction, and meets the evolving expectations of passengers and stakeholders.

This commitment to social responsibility ensures long-term growth and resilience in the aviation industry.
