"Regional aviation can play a vital role in realising free movement in the EU, providing better connectivity for the public, businesses and the products of the various EU regions, particularly in the case of more remote, harder to access regions, or of the outermost regions. It will therefore contribute significantly to these regions’ territorial cohesion, and to their social and economic development. It is important, particularly at a time of economic crisis, to prevent the proliferation of regional airports, which would meet neither efficiency nor sustainability targets. However, it is also crucial to maintain and strengthen existing ties with regions affected by less favourable geographical conditions, as well as to promote better links between regional airports and neighbouring cities, which could bring clear benefits in alleviating the excessive burden on central airports. It is crucial to adopt the measures needed to facilitate improvements to regional airports’ operational and economic effectiveness, as well as to improve the conditions offered to passengers using such infrastructure and services. A clear and concrete definition of ‘regional airport’ should be set out, and clear and transparent criteria established for obtaining subsidies and public funds."@en1
