Airlines for Europe (A4E)’s Post

Eighty years ago today, a meeting took place in Chicago which produced a document that is the starting point for flying as we know it today. The Chicago Convention gave birth to the International Civil Aviation Organization which spurned global commercial aviation and connected the world in ways that could scarcely have been imagined in 1944. In Europe alone in 2023 there were: 🛫 7.9 million commercial flights 👥 988 million passengers who connected across Europe and with the rest of the world In Europe aviation generates: 💹nearly 3 millions direct jobs 📈over €260 billion in GDP Aviation has become crucial for moving people, goods and services across Europe and the rest of the world. At A4E we'll continue to work for an airline industry that is connected, competitive and more sustainable.
