Press Release: General and business aviation on the Commission’s agenda

On January 11, 2007, the European Commission adopted an agenda for general and business aviation in Europe. For the first time since the creation of the EU internal aviation market, the Commission studied this sector, quantified its value and identified the challenges that it is facing. The Commission proposed to integrate general and business aviation into the EU air transport policy. Improving data gathering, screening of legislation to ensure proportionality and integrating general and business aviation into the capacity optimisation initiatives are the main elements of this agenda.
