Mr. Willie Walsh:

The EU is the one we focus on mainly because that is where the skies are more crowded. Issues such as the closure of Russian and Ukrainian airspace are forcing a lot of traffic that would traditionally have passed through that airspace into the rest of European airspace, so that is getting even busier in the short term. The main issue over Europe relates to sovereignty in respect of airspace. Governments want to control the skies above their country. We do not see it with the Schengen agreement on the ground in most places, although I acknowledge Ireland and the UK are not in Schengen. I travel around Europe and live in Switzerland. It is a Schengen country without any border restrictions or passport controls, but in the air all these problems exist. There is a great opportunity to address that.
