"It is through land management that we can strengthen social and territorial cohesion within the EU. I therefore welcome this report, which recalls the key importance that regional aviation plays in the development of European regions. Ensuring a tight network across the EU; that is our ambition. Nevertheless, this report also recalls that we must take care not to encourage the proliferation of regional airports, as this tendency would ultimately run counter to the initial objectives, in economic terms (costs that are too high to bear), environmental terms, or even in terms of geographical logic (not enough traffic). Furthermore, this report is also an opportunity to point out certain abusive practices on the part of low-cost airlines. The restrictions these airlines apply to baggage, for example, should be better regulated, along with the charges added to the initial ticket price. Consumers should enjoy a high-quality service, regardless of the airlines they use. This report is a step in the right direction. It is now up to the Commission to make regional airports key elements in an efficient European transport network covering the whole of the EU."@en1
