The chief of Swissport has called on the European Union to finally implement a single European air traffic control system, an initiative that was first proposed a quarter of a century ago.
The call comes as European air traffic has bounced back from the Covid-19 pandemic more rapidly than anticipated, leading to an increased risk of disruption and delays.
The current fragmented system, with different countries and agencies managing their own airspace, is inefficient and a major cause of congestion and flight cancellations.
A unified system would streamline air traffic management, leading to shorter flight paths, reduced fuel consumption, and fewer delays for passengers.
The Swissport boss's plea highlights the urgent need for a cohesive approach to air travel in Europe to ensure the sector's stability and to handle the growing volume of flights efficiently.
The proposal has been on the table for many years, but political and logistical hurdles have so far prevented its implementation.
