Commission plans Q4 2022 adoption of revised Air Services Regulation
The European Commission has completed public consultation on its revision of the Air Services Regulation, which governs operating licence requirements, service provision freedoms, and price transparency for EU air services. The initiative, which closed for consultation on 5 June 2022, aims to enhance sector resilience following the COVID-19 crisis while maintaining existing consumer protections and employment standards. The Commission plans to adopt the revised regulation in Q4 2022. The update will modify rules affecting operating licences, service provision restrictions, and price display requirements for air carriers operating within the EU.
