PROTECTING AIRPORTS’ INTERESTS

“Beyond this, I will strive to strengthen industry cooperation with airlines, ANSPs and other stakeholders: experience has shown that we are far more effective when we work in harmony with other stakeholders in the industry.

 

“In my opinion however, such harmony can only be achieved when airports are treated and fully recognised as businesses in their own right.”
