"The European airline industry and its customers have not had an easy ride over the last few months! The infamous volcanic ash crisis occurred precisely when the airlines, and its passengers of course, were coping with the effects of a very difficult recession.
However, in the midst of these challenges comes some good news for business and passengers alike! Today’s vote on the EU-Brazil Air Service Agreement brings significant mutual benefits.
Firstly, Brazil is a very strategically important partner for the EU with an enormous potential future market. Currently, more than four million passengers per year fly between Brazil and the EU. A country with a rapidly developing tourism sector, this number can only rise.
From a business perspective, Sao Paolo is the financial capital of South America. The development of the highly specialised oil and financial industry will lead to greater demand for air travel.
The main achievement of this is the removal of nationality restrictions in the existing bilateral agreements between Member States and Brazil. This is an extremely important first step in strengthening EU-Brazil aviation relations which has allowed Brazil and the EU to move towards negotiating a comprehensive air transport agreement."@en1
