"Today’s plenary session saw the vote on the report by Mr Bradbourn on the importance of regional airports, a driving force behind the development of regional tourism and specialised freight transport, which are crucial for the territorial cohesion and economic diversification of the Union, especially in regions where other means of transport are lacking. However, the crisis has badly hurt regional airports, which are now uncompetitive, leading to stronger ties between major airports and airlines, resulting in less choice and higher prices for customers. The inclusion of regional airports in the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) guidelines could facilitate access to private funding and encourage Member States to invest in better ground transport networks – especially high-speed trains. In any case, in order to improve the general quality of the services, we need to tackle a number of practices adopted by the major low-cost operators, such as excessive booking charges and hand luggage restrictions that discourage travellers from buying products at the airport."@en1
