We live in times of tremendous change and uncertainty. Established geopolitical relations, perspectives, and economic assumptions are being reassessed and reframed. In parallel, the effects of liberalisation continue to shape the aviation sector, increasing the vulnerability of the industry.
Without coordinated and determined action, these trends will continue to undermine competition, jobs, and operational resilience. But this future is not inevitable. With strategic pressure applied at local and national level, together with coordinated advocacy at European level, we can shape a different path.
Our vision sets out that path forward. It is a call to defend and strengthen European aviation by rebuilding it on the foundation of quality jobs and strong collective bargaining agreements. It is also a call to our affiliates: to grow our capacity, to deepen our engagement, and to work more closely. By working together can we achieve the change needed, and ensure that aviation workers have the voice, rights, and protections they deserve.
