Who We Are

Founded in 2016, A4E represents the united voice of Europe’s leading airlines in Brussels.

Our 17 airline group members represent over 80% of European air traffic and carried over 771 million passengers in 2024. Leading global aircraft manufacturers are also members of A4E. Airlines with cargo and mail activities transport more than 54 million tons of goods annually.

What We Do

Aviation strengthens ties between citizens, businesses, and communities across borders — and facilitates European integration: the free movement of people and goods. We advocate on behalf of our members to shape EU aviation policy to the ultimate benefit of passengers. Our goal is a safe, sustainable and competitive air transport market in Europe.
