AirBaltic joins Airlines for Europe
AirBaltic has joined A4E, adding to the lobbying group’s growing number of carriers. A4E has been steadily gaining members since its creation in January 2016 and has been campaigning on a variety of issues affecting the airline industry, notably air traffic control strikes, removing what it regards as unreasonable taxes and lowering the cost of using airports in the EU. AirBaltic is the first carrier from Eastern Europe to join the organisation. It is unusual in that it brings together a mix of full-service, low-cost and leisure carriers. Some members of the pre-existing Association of European Airlines (AEA) have departed in favour of A4E, while the European Low-Fares Airline Association announced in Sept 2016 it would close because of defections to the new organisation. <br/>
