the association of european airlines ( aea ) was a trade body that brought together 22 major airlines , and was the voice of the european airline industry for over 60 years .

it shut down in the end of 2016 .

aea worked in partnership with the institutions of the european union and other stakeholders in the value chain , to ensure the sustainable growth of the european airline industry in a global context .

upon its demise in 2016 , aea member airlines carried over 300 million passengers and 4.5 million tonnes of cargo and provided direct employment to 270,000 people .

they operated over 8,000 flights a day , serving 530 destinations in 140 countries , with a global turnover of € 100 billion .

the european environment agency ( eea ) is an agency of the european union . legal notice
the european cockpit association represents the collective interests of professional pilots at european level , striving for the highest levels of aviation safety and fostering social rights and quality employment .
the move could ring the death knell for aea , an association that has been operating in crisis mode for some time , and raises the question of whether it still has a future . it could give rise to renewed effort for a bigger association of european airlines that could combine what is left of aea and iaca , the association representing charter airlines .
. both easyjet and ryanair are members of the european low fare airline association ( elfaa ) . ryanair is europe’s largest airline by number of passengers .
each year the association of european airlines ( aea ) brings together the leaders of its member airlines to discuss major issues facing the aviation industry . last week , given nats’ role as a strategic partner of aea , andy shand , general manager of customer affairs and i attended their 2014 leadership summit .
croatia airlines adds weight to era’s position as the established voice of european aviation and highlights the value that airlines place in its lobbying , campaign work and networking opportunities for members .
aire – airlines international representation in europe represents 16 airlines . the association aims to make the framework our members operate in as efficient and cost - effective as possible .
the association of european airlines brings together 33 major airlines , and has been the trusted voice of the european airline industry for over 50 years . aea works with its members and , wherever possible , with the whole aviation chain to ensure the sustainable growth of the european airline industry . in this section , find out how aea works , who are its members , and learn about the role of the air transport industry in europe .
the association of european airlines brings together 22 major airlines and has been the voice of the european airline industry for over 60 years . it represents the interests of its members to the institutions of the european union , the european civil aviation conference , any other international organisation or association involved in or likely to be involved in issues of interest to aea members and , as appropriate , to individual governments . it strives to advance cooperation amongst its members on any matter likely to be of interest to the membership as a whole , whilst respecting the independence of action of its individual members . aea also works in partnership with the other stakeholders in the value chain to ensure the sustainable growth of the european airline industry in a global context .
croatia airlines is the second airline to join era in the past three weeks , with apg airlines joining the association in december . era is the only european trade body to include the full range of companies involved in european aviation including airlines , airports , manufacturers and suppliers , and provides its members unparalleled networking opportunities through its events and industry groups throughout the year .
several european airlines have clashed with middle east carriers , such as emirates airline , etihad and qatar airways , over their pace and method of growth .
the german carrier , in which etihad airways holds a 29 percent stake , has pulled out of the association of european airlines ( aea ) as it sees
no future in a protectionist aviation policy in europe
, chief executive stefan pichler said .
european initiatives on ground handling , slots , noise , single european sky , environmental issues and external relations in the aviation sector .
european and international work continued during the 1980s . with austria situated in the geographical heart of europe , the ifalpa pan european conference was naturally important and the association joined the work to improve pilot working conditions in the former eastern bloc countries .
any changes that have been made reflect the growth of the association and the strengthening of the contribution to the air transport industry in ireland .
era is a member supported organisation representing organisations involved in intra - european air transport - typically regional airlines , airports , and the manufacturers of regional jets and turboprops .
croatia airlines has joined the european regions airline association ( era ) , bringing the total number of airlines in era membership to 54 . starting life as zagal ( zagreb airlines ) in 1989 , the airline is the flag carrier of croatia with headquarters in zagreb and a fleet consisting of two airbus 320 , four airbus 319 and six bombardier dash 8 - q400 aircraft . the airline connects croatia directly with 35 airports in europe , transporting nearly two million passengers annually .
the decision comes a week after british airways parent company international consolidated airlines group exited the european airline trade body citing
important policy issues

the transition to new ownership will be one of the challenges of the immediate future . beyond that , aca will continue to represent and support austrian pilots in a european context .
concrete details of the new association still have to be hammered out . but the “airlines for europe” name is currently seen as the favorite—along the lines of the policy - heavy airlines for america ( a4a ) u . s . lobbying group that counts the country’s major network and largest lccs among its membership .
european initiatives to counter gulf airlines come at the same time as a u . s . - based lobbying campaign against the big three gulf carriers led by
apg airlines , based at cannes mandelieu airport , operates scheduled flights between nice and milan bergamo and offers vip charter flights and electronic ticketing database and payment solutions . sandrine de saint sauveur , president , apg airlines , says : “ apg airlines is a new french airline wholly owned by the apg group , a global network of over 100 offices providing airline distribution services . whilst apg airlines has a slightly different focus to most airlines , we are delighted to be joining era in light of the activities it undertakes to support its member airlines . ”
as the association’s title implies , ialpa currently draws its membership from all airlines in ireland - i . e . , aer lingus , asl airlines , chc ( ireland ) , cityjet , irish helicopters , parc aviation , ryanair , stobart air , and westair .
the association is understood to have desperately tried to keep the two iag airlines on board . according to industry sources , walsh has refused to take phone calls from aea chairman temel kotil , who is also the ceo of
air france - klm and lufthansa have lobbied national governments and the european union to curtail the growth of the rivals they accuse of benefiting from unfair state subsidies .
since the creation of the european single aviation market in the 1990s , eu airlines have been operating within a comprehensive common framework comprising rules on safety , security , environment and consumer protection . this has delivered huge benefits in terms of . . .
on its website , the aea said that it “calls upon european governments to effectively dissuade non - eu governments from pursuing discriminatory policies which distort competition among international airlines . ”
in the early 1960s the association rented office space in dublin in the headquarters of the workers union of ireland ( wui ) , to which it was affiliated until the late 1970s .

magazine that made its debut in the same year .
, sources said . but the difference in opinion is not thought to be enough of an issue to tear the association asunder , these sources said .
in summer 2015 europe’s leading airline groups called for nothing less than a revolution . flying more than 550 million passengers per year , the members of airlines for europe account for more than two - thirds of the continent’s passenger journeys . every day , more than 2 , 700 of their aircraft cross the continent , and more than 300 , 000 employees in the air and on the ground ensure safe and reliable operations . a4e stands for change – the meanwhile largest airline association is a fresh approach to promote the interests of european airlines and their passengers .

simon mcnamara , era director general , says : “ i’m delighted to welcome croatia airlines as our most recent member . croatia airlines’ decision to join era increases our leverage with europe’s regulatory bodies and adds further substance to our expanding airline membership . era is and always has been at the forefront of strategic discussions on the future of the aviation industry with europe’s regulators and , on behalf of our members , we deliver consistent and effective representation . i’m very much looking forward to working with croatia airlines on the many issues and challenges that affect european aviation . ”

international airlines group ( iag ) , the parent of ba and iberia , told aviation daily that “our position on some important policy issues is not aligned with many other aea airlines . ” iag in particular believes “that global liberalization of our industry is fundamental to our future growth and we are not willing to compromise on it . ”

bob also started his flying career in the air corps . bob is probably unique among ifalpa presidents in having been president of 3 pilot bodies , ialpa , europilote and ifalpa . ( europilote was the regional organisation of european pilot’s associations and was the precursor of the european cockpit association ( eca ) ) . bob was president of ifalpa in 1981 to 1985 . he was president of europilote ( 1976 - 80 ) and was president of ialpa in 1987 - 88 . the most noteworthy event during bob’s term in ifalpa was the shooting down of the korean 747 by the soviet air force in september 1983 . not surprisingly this action outraged the world’s airline pilots and bob became a regular on international tv news programmes where he highlighted the need for the international community to take decisive action to prevent such outrages in the future .

the irish air line pilots’ association ( ialpa ) came into being in 1946 when a group of aer lingus pilots met and formed a committee , headed by the first ialpa president captain p . w . ( darby ) kennedy .
1993 saw a strike against the failed
alcazar
merger between sas , klm , swissair and austrian . to emphasise the association ' s opening up towards other pilot groups and its strong ties to eca , aualpa became
austrian cockpit association
( aca ) in 1997 . the board was no longer an extension of the works council and for the first time included a tyrolean airways vice president .
one key question is who would lead the new association as secretary general . insiders argue that the group should be led by someone who has no previous link to any of the five major players , which would rule out attar hussein khan , the current ceo of aea , who once worked for klm .
lufthansa , air france - klm , iag and easyjet already cooperate in the a4 group to represent airline interests , in single european sky ( ses ) .
however , one challenge to the formal creation of a4 will be to find enough common ground among members to overcome the clear divisions . for instance , air france - klm and lufthansa oppose the iag airlines regarding how to address the major gulf carriers’ growth . meanwhile , the network airlines are opposed to airport - provided financial support that ryanair in particular is receiving at many of its destinations . the picture becomes even more complex when the smaller legacy carriers like
aire airlines operate various business models to cater for different demands in the travel market , including low - cost , seat - only and tour operator traffic . their common feature is efficiency in terms of fleet utilisation and load factor .
with its current focus and representation of interests , the aea is not fulfilling these ideas , but allowing itself to be driven by airlines which desperately try to erect a new wall around europe ,
pichler said in a statement .
ryan fox may have narrowly missed out on a first european tour title at the dubai duty free irish open hosted by the rory foundation but the new zealander had the consolation of qualifying for the open championship for the second consecutive year .
in the early days it dealt with the airline on matters of common interests , mainly the “lifestyle” items of salary , working conditions , pension and seniority .
the remaining large members of aea are beginning to recognize that the association will not be able to recover from the recent defections , and argue that there is a growing need for a strong representative body that includes all major players . one scenario sees lufthansa and air france - klm following iag carriers’ lead and leaving aea behind in favor of the new grouping .
