Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2 a (new)
Paragraph 2 a (new)
2a. Underlines that regional airports are becoming more and more important for charter airlines as well as for low cost carriers; stresses that the main rationale today for charter airlines is as long-haul operators to holiday destinations, with an inferior seat pitch and in-flight service compared with scheduled legacy airlines, often from regional airports that cannot support a scheduled service and flying beyond the competitive reach of low-cost airlines with their short-haul aircraft;

9. Regrets that regional airports situated away from urban centres are often not adequately connected to the transport network on the ground and encourages local and regional authorities to come forward with plans for sustainable mobility that establish an efficient logistics chain; proposes that an exchange of good practice be organised in the field of links between regional airports and urban centres;
Amendment 99 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
Paragraph 10
10. Notes the need for better integration between modes of transport, as well as the fact that traffic share must be determined by the market, provided that the market functions equitably from the standpoint of the environment and intermodality, including through the full externalisation of all internal costs; urges the Commission to come forward with a communication encouraging industry to develop multi- modal through ticketing between the rail, road and air sectors; points to the fact that schemes of this kind are already in operation, such as the ‘rail, coach and fly’ tickets being offered by certain carriers in Germany;
Amendment 113 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11
Paragraph 11
11. Notes that the cost of implementing security measures at smaller regional airports is proportionally higher than at major airports, which benefit from economies of scale; believes, in this connection, that costs should be more evenly shared between passengers, airports and general taxationlocal, regional and national authorities;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
