ERA in membership boost

The need for airlines to show a combined front to governments and international legislators at this difficult time has been emphasized with the European Regions Airline Association (ERA) announcing nine new member carriers.

They are Aircompany Armenia, Air Mediterranean, Cyprus Airways, Ellinair, Georgian Airways, Orange2Fly, Sevenair, Stobart Air and West Atlantic.

Montserrat Barriga, ERA director general, said: “The situation is like nothing we have ever witnessed before, not in our lifetime or indeed our industry’s history.  It’s at times like this that we need to come together to ensure our future and that of air transport globally.  Solidarity has never been more needed, and we are pleased to welcome all of these new carriers to ERA, who agree we have a better chance to survive these challenging times by working together as one.  Europe needs to acknowledge that aviation will be instrumental in its economic recovery, and paramount in the weeks and months to come in reuniting families and friends with their loved ones by providing vital connectivity.”

Founded in 1980, ERA is a non-profit trade association representing 61 airlines and 149 companies involved in European air transport and is the only association embodying the entire spectrum of companies involved in European aviation.

The massive dying of especially regional airlines and services in times of Corona is frightening. So ERA can be the lighthouse for those carriers risking to loose navigation in more than turbulent waters and times.
