The European Commission has launched a demanding innovation process in air transport and aeronautics in Europe. It has to complete what it has been started and to look beyond immediate concerns and to build further on its commitments. The report ‘lightpath 2050 – Europe's Vision for Aviation’ was introduced, a basic document which has been established by a group of high-level representatives from the European aviation industry. The new White Paper ‘ransport Road Map’ was also presented. Technology and innovation are key-solutions for the future.
