Opinion No. 8 on the European Strategy for Aviation proposed by the European Commission

On 7 December 2015, the European Commission published a communica-tion setting out a European Union strategy for the aviation sector. This strategy will form the basis for European aeronautical policy for some years to come, which explains its importance in the eyes of all European stakeholders. The Air and Space Academy, drawing on the multidisciplinary expertise of its members, decided to contribute to this strategic debate in the form of an opinion, published here. For reasons of clarity, this opinion follows the structure of the European Commission’s communication. A short summary heading the document highlights the main subjects tackled and the ensuing recommendations.
