Leisure airline Jet2.com has joined Europe’s new airline association, Airlines for Europe (A4E).
"Airlines for Europe has, in a very short time, established itself as the leading association, representing the interests of European airlines," said Jet2.com CEO Steve Heapy.
"We are pleased to be adding Jet2.com’s support to the existing members, as we tackle the challenges of disproportionate increases in aviation taxes and the high levels of disruption, to both airlines and passengers, as a direct result of Air Traffic Control strikes."
Meanwhile, A4E has decided to broaden its campaign focus.
As well as campaigning for air taxes and EU airport fees to be lowered, it has launched a dedicated working to focus on consumer issues.
Based in Brussels, A4E launched in January 2016 and so far has Air France KLM, easyJet, Finnair, International Airlines Group (IAG), Jet2.com, Lufthansa Group, Norwegian and Ryanair as its members.
