The aviation sector in Europe is at risk of losing its competitive edge in sustainable technologies due to its heavy dependence on fossil fuels and imported kerosene. To maintain leadership, the sector must invest in zero-emission technology and e-SAF, supported by fair aviation pricing. Key strategies include developing EU Aviation Champions, scaling up e-SAF, implementing non-CO2 mitigation strategies, fair pricing through taxation, and shifting away from volume-driven growth. By focusing on these pillars, a resilient, powerful, and secure aviation sector can be created in Europe.
