Global plan for aviation future in European Commission strategy

Skies full of drones, easier security checks for passengers, and global airlines are the future of the aviation industry according to a new strategy put forward by the European Commission.

The no-holds barred plan sees airline companies bought and sold around the world with the abolition of the rule that EU companies must have a controlling interest.

This would allow some of the world’s fastest expanding airlines like those in the Gulf states to buy majority shares in European-registered airlines, and vice versa.
