The EU Aviation Strategy

On 7 December 2015 the European Commission adopted a new Aviation Strategy for Europe, a milestone initiative to boost Europe's economy, strengthen its industrial base and reinforce its global leadership position.

Aviation is a strong driver of economic growth, jobs, trade and mobility for the European Union. It plays a crucial role in the EU economy and reinforces its global leadership position. An Aviation Strategy is needed to ensure that the European aviation sector remains competitive and reaps the benefits of a fast-changing and developing global economy. The Aviation Strategy will therefore provide a strong contribution towards delivering on the core priorities of European Commission.
