"I voted for the report on the future of regional airports and air services in the EU because regional airports contribute to economic development, revitalising industry and generating employment in their regions. Regional airports with high-volume connectivity with third countries and intra-European traffic, and which contribute to multimodal transport in their region, as well as regional airports which can be used to relieve bottlenecks, should be included in the TEN-T planning. We are concerned about the ‘one bag’ rule and other hand luggage restrictions imposed by some airline companies. Such practices end up diminishing the quality of services to passengers, breach competition law, as well as the duty of transparency with regard to the charges applicable to tickets. We call on the Commission to take a balanced approach when revising aviation guidelines in order to provide for a socially and economically viable development of regional air services. Consideration should be given to the development of the infrastructure needed to ensure intermodality, while also making these services accessible to EU citizens and taking into account the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality."@en1
