“The liberalisation of air transport in the EU, initiated a decade ago, has been a great success. Air transport in Europe has experienced unprecedented expansion at affordable fares. The number of airlines has risen and there has been a general increase in the amount of traffic and competition on routes. Since the full liberalisation in 1997, the number of routes has increased by more than 60% : more cities are covered, including in remote regions. The emergence of new competitors made prices go down dramatically on many routes: today it is generally cheaper to travel by air and more and more European citizens can afford it. These developments contributed widely to economic growth and the creation of direct and indirect jobs.”
