Aero-News Quote of the Day

"There is a vital need for a predictable, long term global framework for market-based measures for aviation that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions so as to avoid the negative impacts of climate change, while enabling the aviation sector to grow. We strongly believe ICAO is a right place to move forward on the framework to find a global solution. I would like to invite all countries to constructively work with us in the process that was recently put in place by the President of ICAO. EU strongly supports ICAO's role and will actively engage in these discussions. This non-discriminatory global action that we are all seeking should deliver significant environmental benefits."
