Europe began a new legislative cycle in 2024, whose main objectives are to preserve and strengthen the competitiveness of European companies while implementing the continent’s decarbonization pathway set by the Paris Agreement. 2026 and 2027 will be pivotal years for implementing the necessary reforms to several key pieces of legislation shaping the aviation sector.
