IAG medler seg inn i European Low Fares Airline Association

[LN-RRA]

British Airways og Iberia har meldt seg ut av AEA (Association of European Airlines) og inn i ELFAA (European Low Fares Airline Association).

Air Berlin har også forlatt AEA, men har ennå ikke bestemt seg å følge etter resten av IAG selskapene inn i ELFAA

Stefan Pichler, Chief Executive Officer, Air Berlin:
"We see no future in a protectionist aviation policy in Europe. On the contrary; the liberalisation of bilateral agreements will promote further consolidation and new, innovative business models, thereby benefitting all passengers. With its current focus and representation of interests, the AEA is not fulfilling these ideas, but allowing itself to be driven by airlines which desperately try to erect a new wall around Europe.”
