The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has extended its wholesome cooperation for the appeals raised by Spain’s Transport Minister, Jose Blanco and Vice President of the European Commission, Siim Kallas towards speeding up execution of the Single European Sky.
Europe’s Transport Council is due to meet on 4 May 2010 to discuss the nitty- gritty of the subject.
Giovanni Bisignani, IATA’s Director General and CEO has, in his statement, congratulated the efforts of Minister Blanco and Vice President Kallas towards accelerating the implementation of the Single European Sky. Bisignani added that the criticality of the Single European Sky had come to the fore during the volcanic ash crisis that had crippled European air transport for almost a week. He stated that the technical details of the venture have been sorted out since time immemorial but they have been since then, waiting for political approval.
The IATA chief in his address has also touched upon the logistical benefits that the Single European Sky promises to usher in. These include advancing Europe’s competitiveness and driving better environmental performance.
