Much of the ACI EUROPE membership is located within the European Union, which has a highly active regulatory environment concerning the aviation industry, relative to other regions of the globe.
The Policy Outlook states that the aviation industry remains constrained by antiquated rules restricting market access and airline investment.
However remaining government-to-government restrictions on air routes, capacity, pricing and airline ownership and control need to be lifted beyond the EU.
In particular regional airports and the communities they support would benefit greatly from the resulting increased opportunities for global connectivity.
ACI EUROPE supports the European Commission's efforts to fully liberalise international air services agreements at an EU level and in its Policy Outlook suggests that priority should be given to: ACI EUROPE states that European airports are willing to participate directly in international aviation negotiations.
Special editions typically provide an overview of specific airports, consisting of interviews with senior members of staff on relevant topics.
