The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) has called on the European Commission (EC) to take account of the industry’s contribution to the continent’s economic competitiveness as it formulates the new European Union Aviation Strategy. On Thursday, the group’s office in Brussels published a white paper, “General Aviation and Europe’s Aviation Strategy,” which emphasizes business aviation’s role in driving innovation in pursuit of sustainability objectives.

The policy white paper has been submitted to the EC as GAMA’s response to the call for evidence that is part of the consultation for the new Aviation Strategy, which is expected to be firmed up by year-end. The GAMA submission echoes similar input made by the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) in May.
