Yesterday, the Belgian Presidency of the Council of European Union, under the leadership of Transport and Mobility Minister Georges Gilkinet, hosted a successful event focused on shaping a sustainable future for the aviation sector.   Through engaging panel discussions, diverse stakeholders tackled issues surrounding competitiveness, social rights, and future aviation legislation. The event yielded several key takeaways   ✈️ Safeguarding European airlines demands a level playing field both internally and in comparison with non-EU counterparts. ✈️ Collaboration between airlines, unions, and regulatory bodies is crucial for upholding the social rights of aviation crews. ✈️ The need for a more cohesive and robust legislative framework specifically addressing social rights within the aviation industry was strongly acknowledged. ✈️ Highlighting the importance of fair competition in upcoming aviation legislation is seen as a key step towards strengthening European airlines for the future. At E4FC, we wholeheartedly echo these sentiments. New leadership at the EU level later this year, presents a unique opportunity to tackle the challenges facing the European aviation head-on. We remain firmly committed to supporting policymakers and stakeholders in building a European aviation sector that is both competitively strong and socially equitable. Kudos to all the panelists who enriched the dialogue! Wouter Dewulf Emmanuel Vivet Dorothea von Boxberg Alejandra Cruz Ross Yves Jorens Ana Vieira da Mata Patrick A.

🤔 In case you missed it... ➡ In the framework of the Belgian Presidency of the Council of European Union, last week the city of Brussels hosted the 2024 edition of the Connecting Europe Days, Europe’s mobility flagship event. The Connecting Europe by Air side event was a particularly insightful initiative, which gathered policy makers and aviation industry stakeholders from all over #Europe to discuss the critical role of aviation in ensuring #connectivity & #sustainability within the European transport system. 🛫 The event also provided a platform to explore innovative EU-funded aviation projects showcased across the venue. 💡 The major highlights during the panels? • Security needs to be ensured at every level and in every shape. • Sustainable mobility must emerge as a priority also through the EU citizens's vote at the upcoming European Parliament elections. • Although there is no silver bullet solution to make aviation more sustainable, there are several silver bullet solutions that can be put in place, one complementing the other. 🙌 Let's continue working together towards sustainable flights! 🔗https://bit.ly/4aD621u
