Air safety

Flying is one of the safest forms of transport. It is also the fastest growing.

Faced with the explosion of the air traffic and a huge number of carriers resulting from the successful implementation of the single aviation market, the European Union (EU) has decided to seize the initiative, to ensure that all European citizens can enjoy the same level of safety in the sky.

Beyond ensuring a high level of safety for the passengers, the EU air safety policy promotes rules that are cost efficient and facilitate the free movement of products, services and persons involved in civil aviation.
