ADV meets at Hamburg Airport
The boards of directors and managing directors of the ADV member airports met in Hamburg for a two-day meeting. The focus of the discussions was the importance of Germany as an aviation location for travelers, the economy and regions. Air traffic enables efficient national and international mobility and logistics connections in the interest of society as a whole, thus connecting people and markets. Germany as an aviation location strengthens the domestic economy in the long term. ADV President Stefan Schulte explained this on the sidelines of the ADV autumn conference in Hamburg: “A strong business location requires good air traffic connections! One in four foreign guests travels to Germany by plane. The establishment of companies and tourism depend on international connections - for jobs and thus prosperity. The transformation of air traffic must not be jeopardized as a result of the Federal Constitutional Court's ruling Airports are continuously reducing their CO2 footprint. Key projects still need to be implemented for the successful transformation of air traffic. The boards of directors and managing directors of the ADV airports also discussed this at their conference. Converting airports to climate neutrality is a huge project. "The ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court must not lead to the ongoing transformation processes and future investments being stopped. The promised funding from the Climate and Transformation Fund (KTF) for the airports must be made available unchanged. The federal government must set aside the promised funds for future investments in the coming budget and ensure planning security. Additional burdens, on the other hand, lead to a further loss of competitiveness and ultimately to a weakening of the business location. "We need more speed in the expansion of charging infrastructure, electromobility and clean fuels. Funding programs for innovations and investments must be made available simply, transparently and unbureaucratically - both at national and European level,"
