We are proud to be represented by our President and CEO, Faye Malarkey Black in such an important discussion. #era24
This morning’s #era24 high-level meeting for CEOs of airlines and airports kicked off with some in-depth discussions for industry leaders, who enjoyed valuable face time with regulators. The meeting began with a look at how regulators can better support regional aviation and encourage competition while the industry transitions to more sustainable operations, at the same time as preserving connectivity. Barbara Brandtner, Director, DG COMP gave an overview of how the European Commission is looking at the aviation sector, with the aim of preserving a level playing field. With the revision of the 2014 Guidelines on State aid to airports and airlines, one of the topics at the heart of the forthcoming review is decarbonisation and whether state aid tools are needed to promote decarbonisation of the sector and, if so, how this should be done. Consolidation was also covered, noting that DG COMP's approach on remedies has evolved and goes a step further to ensure that competition on specific routes is preserved. Europe’s passenger rights laws have long been on the agenda for airline leaders. Professor Anna Masutti provided members with a legal analysis of the application of Regulation 261/2004 versus other passenger rights regulations for different transport modes, highlighting some of the current flaws of the system. She demonstrated that there is a disparity in the treatment between air carriers versus other transport operators in equivalent situations. Airlines are obliged to pay compensation without being able to effectively raise cases of extraordinary circumstances and without compensation being linked to ticket price, which is the case for rail companies, and is deemed unfair in Italian and German law. The US and Europe share a number of common issues, and we welcomed Faye Malarkey Black of the Regional Airline Association and CEO of Republic Airways, Bryan Bedford to give their views. “We don’t share regulators but we share so many issues,” stated Bedford. He reflected on how 20 years ago, the US market was similar to the current European market, but that it has now changed a lot due to tremendous consolidation in the US. In order to survive, airlines have approached the problem differently; it’s no longer about how to divide the pie, but how to grow it and how everybody can have a healthy business and bring value to the customers. On specific issues, Bedford compared the US system of passenger rights and the impact it had on airlines, as well as the pilot shortage. US regional airlines such as Republic Airways share the issue European regionals have with investing in pilot training whilst experiencing high turnover as pilots move to mainline carriers. Hearing insights and sharing best practices from across the Atlantic is always so valuable, and the gathered CEOs clearly enjoyed getting this fresh perspective. Thank you to session moderator Patrick Edmond 🇺🇦 for initiating some really interesting discussions.
