Abstract:

Discusses the slump in the European air transport sector. Acommittee has been set up whose brief is to take it out of this crisisand back to growth. The committee recommends further liberalization ofthe European air transport market; expansion of the capacity of airportsand air traffic lanes; and cost reductions. Environmental features arenot given priority in the report, as environmental measures increasecosts. Argues that the fact that the committee has omitted to give aprominent place to the environment in its report makes itsrecommendations unrealistic and that the predictable tightening up ofenvironmental policy looks set to lead to a permanent slump in the airtransport section. Suggests some ideas for an integrated environmentalpolicy and presents three scenarios for the future of air transport.
