Warning signs for European air connectivity amid policy shortcomings, market shifts and geopolitics

Source: ACI Europe Lower air connectivity hampers wider European competitiveness, cohesion and global positioning — pointing to new aviation reality ACI EUROPE has published its 2025 Airport Industry Connectivity Report: the definitive barometer of air connectivity in Europe. Released ahead of the 35th ACI EUROPE Annual Congress & General Assembly, the report is based on the connectivity indexes developed by SEO Amsterdam Economics — the most comprehensive and complete tool for measuring and ranking airport connectivity. The 2025 report reveals that despite increasing by +7% in 2025 over the preceding year, air connectivity (direct + indirect air connectivity) in Europe still remains -9% below pre-pandemic (2019) levels. This stands in stark contrast with passenger volumes which achieved full recovery in [...]

EASA and IATA publish comprehensive plan to mitigate GNSS interference risks

Source: EASA The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) have published a comprehensive plan to mitigate the risks stemming from global navigation satellite system (GNNS) interference. The plan was part of the conclusions of a jointly-hosted workshop on the topic of GNSS interference. Given the continued rise in frequency of incidents of interference with GNSS signals, the workshop concluded that a broader and more coordinated approach is needed — focusing on four key areas: improved information gathering, stronger prevention and mitigation measures, more effective use of infrastructure and airspace management, and enhanced coordination and preparedness among relevant agencies. Reported incidents of interference with GNSS signals, known as jamming and spoofing, have been increasing [...]
