EU transport chief urges SES boost as post-volcano recovery measure

摘要

EU transport commissioner Siim Kallas has urged acceleration of the Single European Sky (SES) programme to deliver integrated airspace management by the end of 2010 - two years before the scheduled implementation date of 2012.rnIn response to the major disruption resulting from the volcanic ash cloud - which caused the cancellation of more than 100,000 flights, left more than 10 million passengers unable to travel and cost the aviation sector and related businesses up to EUR2.5 billion (USD3.3 billion) - Kallas presented a series of recovery recommendations on 27 April.
