"I welcomed the resolution on the future of regional airports and air services in the EU because regional airports and air services are not only essential as transport nodes, helping to facilitate the smooth running of the EU’s single market by moving people and goods between regions, but they are also essential as generators of economic growth in their own right. Together, they expand the horizon of traditional trading routes and provide a significant boost to the cities and regions that they serve. These infrastructures and services are important for people living outside major urban areas and to the EU as a whole. When proposing legislation in the field of aviation, there is a tendency by the European Commission to focus attention on major hub airports. This report seeks to redress this balance and bring attention to the manner in which regional airports and air services have often been unintentionally, yet disproportionately, affected by some EU legislation. We also need to look for ways of improving the operational and economic efficiency of regional airports and air services as well as the experience of passengers using these facilities and services."@en1
