"The competitiveness of the regions in the European Union is in line with regional economic growth. Those regions that have all the capabilities that an airport can provide are more competitive and better able to attract capital. Today, a regional airport is a prerequisite for an investment location. It is vital for modern logistics and is also one of the most effective regional development factors. Serious investors are unlikely to be interested in regions where there is no airport or where the airport does not operate appropriately. The expansion of low-cost carriers was another factor that highlighted the role of smaller airports. Since such carriers focus on keeping their costs low, they prefer using smaller airports provided with appropriate infrastructure, rather than large, crowded airports. They can then use transfer services to transport their passengers to the larger cities in the vicinity. This method has worked in Western Europe and, in my home country, for instance, there is already an example of such cooperation in the town of Debrecen. In conclusion, I believe that European regional airports and flights need to be seen as key factors in creating an effective, smoothly operating EU transport network that will promote trade and provide mobility for a wider public. I therefore voted in favour of the report."@en1
