GENEVA, Switzerland – The International Air Transport Association (IATA) welcomed the European Commission’s evaluation of the Airport Charges Directive (ACD) which highlights the need to further strengthen the directive to protect consumers.
Nearly 60 percent of passengers in Europe pass through just 25 airports. Many airports are able to charge prices that would otherwise not be achieved in a competitive market. The Commission’s evaluation confirms that further provisions are required to establish a common framework to regulate airport charges at EU airports. The report concludes that the existing directive has had a positive impact on the airport charges setting process, but that there is a clear case for further strengthening it to fully achieve its objectives.
“The Airport Charges Directive benefits consumers. And the Commission have rightly concluded that there is scope for the Directive to be even more effective if consumer interests are protected by strong economic regulation of airports with significant market power,” said Rafael Schvartzman, IATA’s regional vice president for Europe.
Three key lessons can be drawn from the Commission’s evaluation:

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
