"Regional airports are becoming an important factor for economic growth, stimulating development in the cities and regions they serve. They also extend transport routes. Unfortunately, the Union’s policy in this area to date, which has focused mainly on key transport hubs, did not bring benefits to smaller centres. It is, however, in the interest of individual regions to increase the profitability of these centres. The proposals put forward in the resolution to make the European Aviation Area more effective will encourage regional development. For example, regional airports may turn out to be very effective at reducing traffic and congestion at large hubs. Another excellent idea, with clear benefits to passengers, is the proposal to develop multimodal travel by selling joint tickets for air and train travel. In addition, by eliminating some of the burdensome practices of cheap carriers, we can also improve passenger comfort. Regional air travel may turn out to be key for the free movement of citizens and to improve the flow of goods and services. I support the resolution."@en1
