Together with @A4Europe and European Regions Airline Association we have written to EU261 negotiators warning that what’s on the table risks doubling costs for passengers without improving what they care about most – arriving on time 🛬 .

[IATA @IATA]

Passengers and global connectivity will benefit if airlines are granted slot relief during the ongoing crisis in the Middle East.

Blog from IATA's SVP Operations, Safety and Security, Nick Careen explains how regulators can grant JNUS fairly 👉 https://t.co/E7MXtPdURJ

The passenger cap @DublinAirport restricts route development, limits consumer choice, & undermines Ireland’s attractiveness for investment & tourism. It must be decisively lifted.

[IATA @IATA]

Together w/ ACI Europe & @A4Europe, we are raising concerns that EES is already causing significant delays at airport border controls. Without urgent corrective action, these issues risk escalating into major disruptions during the summer travel season.

#Swiipr won’t let any of our party sign in so we can’t get our vouchers for our delayed flight @British_Airways - is there any solution?

[IATA @IATA]

Poorly designed #SAF mandates are slowing aviation's decarbonization & inflating costs. With e-SAF mandates coming soon, regulators must work with the airline industry to design incentives that support scalable production and lower costs.

Kids: Don't do it.
More kids: Don't do it.
Even all their parents: Pleeeeeeeeeeease don't.

Us: What's our flight number for Kona to Chicago? 67. 😜

@TfL why are Met Line trains cancelled at Amersham if there’s good service - another joyful commute on a peak day starts.

Wings of Change day 2 underway! Fitness Check panel clear on importance of slots regulation. IAG's Pimentel says slots reg has enabled LCCs to grow 40% & routes with three+ carriers up 25%. Eddy Liegeois from DG MOVE agrees that we “must be careful” about slot reform. #IATAWOCE

Thomas Reynaert, IATA SVP discusses UK APD and Passenger Rights at #Airlines2025 with @SimonCalder https://t.co/QU9awB52vD via @acast

[Simon Calder @SimonCalder]

COP30: £500 ticket levy has been proposed by France, Spain and Kenya for business/first class and private jets, with funds going to climate projects.
International Air Transport Association (Iata) says idea is "crazy" as mitigations are already under way.

Address to the #Airlines2025 conference by the Rt. Hon @Heidi_Labour Alexander, Secretary of State for Transport. "If the UK is to seize its share of the aviation market...then my job is simple: to create the conditions for you to grow and compete."

Our Senior Economist Maja Marciniak explains to the delegates at #Airlines2025 conference about the growing burden of UK Air Passenger Duty. The tax collects GBP4.2 billion, which is 8.9% of all global aviation ticket tax revenue!

[IATA @IATA]

Thank you @SwedishPM for taking a chance and giving passengers their money money money back.

With the ✈️ air passenger tax abolished, Sweden’s 🇸🇪 the winner that will take it all!

@SAS @visitsweden

[IATA @IATA]

#FLASH: SAF Production to Double in 2025 — Still Only 0.7% of Jet Fuel Use 🌍🛢️

“SAF output may reach 1 Mt in 2025 — just 0.7% of global jet fuel consumption (311 Mt). We need 1.2 Mt to meet EU & UK mandates alone.”

European prosperity depends on a competitive ✈️ sector. Ways to enhance competitiveness:
1️⃣Reform EU261 - fewer cancellations
2️⃣Refine ReFuelEU - more flexibility to use SAF
4️⃣Abolish Pax Taxes like 🇸🇪
4️⃣Make airports & ATC perform better.

@TfL how is it possible #SabaParkingUK can now charge £10 / day at #Chalfont&Latimer #Chesham car parks with no investment and severe lack of spaces - monopoly provider free to charge what they want? @SarahGreenLD #Amersham will only get busier due to this huge increase in cost!
