Connecting people
Flying connects people across borders and continents, and is a cornerstone of our global economy, especially for time-sensitive goods and lifesaving medical supplies.
Carrying people by air is a significant responsibility. Thanks to ever more sophisticated aircraft, technology and control systems, the airplane is statistically on of the safest means of transport. And the European aeronautics industry is a global leader in developing safer air travel.
The aerospace industry is actively addressing environmental concerns around aviation. Our European members lead the way in developing efficient aircraft and systems aimed at minimising carbon emissions. Today's planes consume 20% less fuel, translating to an impressive 80% reduction in CO2 emissions per seat when compared to the early passenger jets.
