EUROPEAN CIVIL AVIATION CONFERENCE - CONFÉRENCE EUROPÉENNE DE L'AVIATION CIVILE

Network of Chief Economists agrees on future focus

21 April 2022 - The members of the ECAC Network of Chief Economists (NCE) met virtually to consider the implementation of the group’s 2022 work programme. Participants shared updates on statistical information and economic studies related to civil aviation in general, and in particular focused their attention on the impact of the current crises (COVID-19, war in Ukraine).

The members agreed there were three main challenges facing the air transport sector and which the network should focus on in the future: the recovery from the pandemic crisis, the future financial resilience of the whole system, and achieving sustainability. These topics will be presented to the next meeting of the Economic Working Group for a discussion on how to take forward any possible actions.
