"Aviation is today a key sector in the European economy. It contributes EUR 365 billion to European GDP and supports 5.1 million jobs but, seven years after the Communication from the Commission on ‘Developing the agenda for the Community’s external aviation policy’, we have still to reach our goals. It is, now more than ever, time to make rapid progress in European aviation. New economic challenges are arising from regions of the world where much more permissive legislation is allowing companies to build huge new airports that divert a lot of travellers from European hubs. The European Union urgently needs increased airport capacity to avoid the risk of losing competitiveness relative to regions that are experiencing rapid exponential growth (our concerns are focused on the Asia-Pacific, Middle East and South American regions). Investment in airport infrastructure must be taken seriously, even if demand does not yet exceed supply. Meanwhile, the existing capacity needs to be used to its maximum efficiency (including by means of better management of slots and use of non-hub airports to reduce congestion)."@en1
