A coalition of 14 associations and unions in Germany is calling for financial assistance for the aviation industry to prevent a decline in competitiveness and global market connections. Key organizations involved in this advocacy include the Federal Association of German Aviation Industry, the Federation of German Industries, IG Metall, the Airport Association, and various tourism bodies. The coalition has proposed eight measures to strengthen the aviation sector, such as reducing government costs, supporting future technologies, and increasing allocation from the special fund for sustainable aviation fuels. The initiative also aims to direct EUR100 billion towards the Climate and Transformation Fund, emphasizing the importance of sustainable development. Additionally, the coalition seeks to eliminate or reduce the aviation tax, lessen bureaucratic burdens, and invest more in national aviation research initiatives. One significant focus is on expanding the hydrogen ecosystem for new aircraft propulsion systems, covering production, transport, and refueling. Industry leaders believe that investing in innovative technologies is crucial to meeting climate targets and promoting economic recovery. The President of the Federal Association of German Aviation Industry highlights the urgency of affordable sustainable fuels and new propulsion systems in facilitating the industry's transformation. This push for initiatives underscores the aviation sector's significance in the economy and its potential for sustainable development.
