GBTA Europe Highlights Advocacy Around Key Industry Developments and Climate Efforts

GBTA have released the February edition of the GBTA Europe Advocacy Newsletter designed to keep you up to date with what’s happening in relation to business travel in Brussels, and how GBTA is advocating on behalf of members.

This month, the newsletter features details of the The EU Green Deal Industrial Plan, to enhance the competitiveness of Europe's net-zero industry and support the transition to climate neutrality. Considered as the European response to the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), European airlines are calling for financial support and initiatives to promote SAF, to meet the EU's sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) ambitions.

The newsletter also includes updates on RefuelEU Aviation, the multimodal digital mobility services (MDMS) and delays to the Entry-Exit System.

Read all the details here in the February GBTA Europe Advocacy newsletter.
