JULY 2019 ECAC IN FOCUS 2019 European Aviation Moving Forward ECAC IN FOCUS 2019 European Aviation Moving Forward Foreword A defining trait of the aviation sector lies in its ability to demonstrate resilience when faced with unprecedented challenges. These formidable adaptation and innovation capabilities have led our sector to overcome crisis and become the indispensable means of transport we know today; a sector which contributes to the global economy and connectivity of all ECAC Member States. s part of the aviation community, we are committed to develop and implement strategies that focus on the reduction of the environmental impact of aviation, with positive actions to reduce aviation emissions and address local noise and air quality issues. A more sustainable Aaviation sector is our common goal. We are also committed that these strategies will tackle current challenges, such as the multiplication of RPAS in the controlled airspace, cyber safety and security risks, global tracking or supersonic aircraft. Since its creation in 1955, ECAC has continuously pursued its core mission: to support its 44 Member States in the development of a safe, secure, sustainable air transport system while fostering its economic and social benefits for all. As opportunities and risks constantly evolve, so has ECAC in order to meet and anticipate the needs of its members, recognising their diversity but at the same time acknowledging that common challenges are best tackled when standing united. ECAC’s adaptation to rapidly evolving challenges, as well as its greatest achievements, are rooted in strong cooperation and partnership. ECAC will continue to strengthen its relationships with its international partners, such as its sister organisations (ACAO, AFCAC and LACAC), European organisations such as the European Union, EASA and EUROCONTROL, individual States and ICAO, led by the ambition to improve and enhance aviation standards worldwide. Let us remember that aviation succeeded in its first century because it constantly met the challenges of innovation. Now standing at a « tipping point » of aviation history, we should be confident our sector will continue – though cooperation and innovation – to shape its own future. Our work continues.
