The European Commission has set a deadline of May 21 for the submission of industry feedback on a forthcoming EU aviation and aeronautics strategy. This announcement was made by EU Transport Commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas during the Airlines for Europe (A4E) Aviation Summit held in Brussels in March 2026. The initiative seeks to shape a future framework for the EU's air transport sector, focusing on sustainability, innovation, and competitiveness.
Tzitzikostas emphasized the importance of industry participation in developing policies that will impact airspace management, environmental targets, and technological progress. The strategy aims to address challenges facing the European aviation market in a changing global landscape, promoting resilient and environmentally responsible growth.
Stakeholders are encouraged to contribute insights to ensure the strategy aligns with industry realities and environmental commitments. The European Commission aims to gather comprehensive input to inform legislative proposals and strategic policies that will guide the sector's trajectory in the coming years.
This initiative underscores the EU’s broader goal of modernizing its aviation infrastructure and implementing sustainability measures, reinforcing Europe’s role as a leader in safe, efficient, and environmentally conscious air transport.
