A Single European Sky (SES) is in jeopardy of not being implemented with the European Commission’s (EC) proposals “lacking ambition”, airline associations have said.
In a joint statement, the AEA, EBAA, ELFAA, ERA and IACA said the EC had failed to deliver an efficient European airspace since proposals were originally drafted in 10 years and are concerned of losing pace.
“The Single European Sky needs to be put back on track by stronger leadership from the European Commission and enforced commitment by the Member States.
The currently proposed legislation does not ensure that the SES high-level goals are delivered and therefore needs to be improved,” the statement read. “In order to break the deadlock situation, we call the European Commission to withdraw its proposal regarding the performance and charging schemes and to work on a more appropriate framework in line with the SES high level goals.”
