Independent study shows economic impact of the Fit for 55 package
A new report, commissioned by ACI EUROPE and carried out by Oxera, has for the first time looked at the cumulative impact of the ‘Fit for 55’ package of legislation upon the airport industry.
The European Union proposals, fully supported by the European airport industry in their ambition to meet the EU’s climate goals, have however not been subject to a comprehensive assessment of the impact on the aviation sector. Such a crucially important package, dealing as it does with the imperative to decarbonise, must go hand in glove with the preservation of the unique economic and social benefits afforded by air connectivity. The report, published on June 8th, is an important first step in this analytical process. “Our rigorous and objective assessment will allow for the most informed progression of European environmental policy to support the aviation eco-systems’ decarbonisation pathway” said Michele Granatstein, Oxera’s Head of Aviation.
