Belgium has warned fellow member states that failure to agree this week to reform “technically obsolete” EU rules setting minimum tax rates for fuels and electricity could delay incentives for a switch away from harmful fossil fuels to cleaner alternatives.

Aviation players were divided on the extent air traffic management measures (ATM) may have on curbing climate change during an aviation conference held in Brussels today (April 9). EU data estimates that civil aviation accounts for 13% of total CO2 emissions from EU transport, and new aviation rules designed to improve network management of EU airspace — dubbed the Single European Sky (SES) — foresee a reduction of 10% on the environmental impact caused by aviation. The SES was launched in 1999 to improve the performance of ATM and air navigation services through better integration of European...

Flying in Europe is at its safest level since records began, according to new research from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

That statistic is significantly better than the continent’s 5-year average of 0.77 accidents per million. Better still, Europe has had a fatality risk of zero since 2018. Interestingly, the largest proportion of recorded accidents were down to landing gear coll...

The US Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday it's giving aircraft company Boeing 90 days to come up with a plan to fix quality problems and meet safety standards for building planes after a panel blew off a brand-new Boeing 737 Max jet last month. The agency said the directive followed all-day meetings on Tuesday with top Boeing officials at FAA headquarters in Washington. “Boeing must commit to real and profound improvements,” said FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker. “Making foundational change will require a sustained effort from Boeing’s leadership, and we are going to hold them accou...
