Air transport contributes around €370bn per annum to the enlarged EU economy, about 4% of Gross Domestic Product
The value and scale of this contribution seem not to be recognised by Europe’s politicians and policy-makers

In most EU states electricity (or its source fuel) is not taxed
70% of energy used by rail is electricity
the majority of Europe’s trains therefore rely on untaxed energy

EC White Paper proposes policies that will further distort competition between air and other modes
growth in road & air traffic must be controlled
limit construction of new airports
rail must be made more competitive
where high-speed rail exists, eliminate air services

… We can no longer think of maintaining air links to destinations where there is a competitive high-speed rail alternative…. Today the stated priority is thus to limit the construction of new airports…..
