Executive summary
Environmental impacts of air transport have been the “hot topic” over the past months and some unfortunate myths have been repeated by various stakeholders. The European Low Fares Airline Association (ELFAA) in this position paper aims to clarify these inaccuracies and break the myths in order to promote sensible discussion of the issues.
Successful liberalisation of air transport in Europe and the resulting emergence of the low fares airlines (LFAs) have brought direct benefits to European consumers and regional development in the form of increased employment, cross border investment and cost efficiencies to small and medium-sized undertakings, among others. LFAs contribute to the development of sustainable tourism and environmentally efficient travel throughout Europe. LFAs are actually minimizing environmental impacts given the highly efficient nature of their operations and the fact that they operate modern, fuel efficient fleets, i.e. make the most of current technological achievements by aircraft manufacturers. LFAs are therefore the most environmentally responsible segment of the air transport industry.
