Internal Successes of theEU Single Aviation Market

Tripling of air travel 1980-2000. Doubling expected by 2020

25% more airlines than in 1990 Emergence of low-cost carriers

1% of capacity in 1996. 26% in 2005

More competition between air carriers Lower fares – price response of traditional carriers to LCC Massive productivity gains More routes with more than two competitors (+300% 1992-2005)

More intra-EU routes (+145% 1992-2005) Since 1998 more intra-Community traffic than domestic

13Directorate-General Energy and Transport / Air Transport Directorate

Combined share of the US and EU markets close to 60% of world air traffic

Major new opportunities and economic benefits of and open aviation area

Would provide more freedom to the airline industry

More than “open skies”: regulatory convergence component important

The EU wishes to deepen aviation relations with other key partners

Possible Wider Implications

Page 14: Directorate-General Energy and Transport / Air Transport Directorate 1 Towards a Common Aviation Area Traffic Patterns EUROMED AVIATION PROJECT AIR TRANSPORT

14Directorate-General Energy and Transport / Air Transport Directorate

An additional 26 million extra transatlantic passengers over 5 years (on top of 50 million passengers today)

After 5 years, the market will be 34% higher than without the agreement

Growth in cargo market Consolidated economic benefits

between 6.4 and 12 billion € over 5 years

Could create 80,000 new jobs (equally spread between the US and the EU)

EU-US Benefits

Conclusions

Successful EU-wide market integration Market access restrictions being lifted Based on more stringent rules
