"With this report, we wish to underline the important role played by regional airports and related air services, as they not only contribute to ensuring that the EU’s single market works effectively by transporting people and goods between the regions, but are also capable of producing economic growth themselves, attracting greater economic investment. Often however, they have been unintentionally, yet disproportionately, affected or excluded by some EU legislation.
We therefore call on the European Commission to pay special attention to regional airports and air services, as they risk being priced out of the market in the face of greater consolidation among major airports, airlines and airline alliances. An uncompetitive and monopolistic market-place would not only be extremely harmful to regional aviation but also to EU citizens who would be faced with less choice and rising prices. We therefore call for greater commitment to developing the new-generation European traffic management system (SESAR) and the Single European Sky, as their completion could lead to huge economic and environmental savings brought about by greater efficiency, as well as allowing some smaller regional airports to benefit from new investments and technology."@en1
