Forecast of air traffic supply [in German]

Report on the expected development of air traffic in Germany and Europe.

„Aviation companies in Germany connect people, cultures, and economies on a daily basis. Air travel ensures global supply chains and promotes trade, tourism, and diplomacy. This economic and political strength must be maintained and the aviation hub of Germany strengthened in the tough international competition. In doing so, economic and ecological requirements must be harmonized. I am firmly convinced that we can permanently secure the economy, prosperity, and jobs in Germany—if industry and politics pull together.“

Flying connects people and cultures across borders and continents, enabling travel and free trade. However, with every flight, airplanes emit emissions that negatively impact the climate. What measures are being taken today to reduce aviation emissions? How can we achieve carbon-neutral flying in the long term?
