Eurocontrol – Where to next for European aviation?

European aviation may be back to around 90% of pre-pandemic traffic levels, but 2022, and especially the busy summer season, has been hugely turbulent. Staff shortages across the value chain have created a perfect storm for travellers while rising fuel costs and spiralling inflation triggered by Putin’s war of aggression in Ukraine threaten a difficult winter for aviation and for Europe’s citizens.

This week, Irishman Eamonn Brennan and Director General of Eurocontrol, hosted a conference with industry leaders to share their insights and identify what needs fixing immediately, as well as examine the major trends for European aviation in the medium term. You can watch the conference below.
