The Aviation Intelligence Reporter
The Aviation Intelligence Reporter is the aviation industry’s leading independent commentary and review, but be warned: it is not afraid to tell it as we see it. You may not always agree with what we say but it will make you think. And sometimes, hopefully, it will make you laugh too. Not afraid to be iconoclastic, not afraid to point out folly and definitely not afraid to note the similarities between modern aviation and Shakespearian drama.
Published monthly, the Aviation Intelligence Reporter is read by almost every industry leader and trade association in Europe and around the world. We cover airlines, airports, ANSPs, drones and aviation policy. Join the community of readers and see what the industry is going to be thinking about next.

Friends,
Over the last few months, we have had CANSO and the ACI-Europe set out what they are wanting from the new Commission. This month, I am delighted to say that Airlines 4 Europe complete the set, putting forward what it thinks the Commission must focus on. Thanks to all the trade associations for setting out their putative agenda.
This month, Chris Lyle also completes his detailed view on where ICAO is positioned in the sustainability debate by detailing what it is that ICAO can do to address the issues it faces. There are two other levers – fiscal measures, and demand management – outside the bailiwick of ICAO. We will look at those levers in the next few months.
In the meantime, the airlines and other industry players continue to put demands on their regulators, often seemingly without consideration of the views of others in the industry. Reaction from the trade associations in particular, when regulators make a balanced and fair decision, often beggars belief. We try to look at the various pressures the regulators are under, particularly given that DG COMP believes that aviation needs further reform.
Finally, to lighten the way, and with thanks to Patrick Edmond from Altair Advisory, we have an airline sustainability buzzword bingo game for you to cut out and keep. Play along!
As ever, we welcome your feedback,
Regards
Andrew
