Outline of the EUROPLANE project

The main objective of the EUROPLANE project is to promote the durability, function, accessibility and sustainable existence of regional airports in the EU by interregional co-operation and best practice information exchange. The achievement of this objective shall be supported by the consideration of instruments for regional development such as ERDF European Regional Development Funds and PSO (Public Service Obligations).

Following sub-objectives have been defined to reach this overall aim:

• to describe the current constraints, challenges and solutions of the EUROPLANE partner airports for best practise approach among the partners
• to elaborate interregional strategies for the development of airport business potential and market niches
• to improve the accessibility of regions and their social and economic cohesion by the identification of actual passenger market potential at integrated airports to establish new flight connections
• to identify opportunities to utilise EU structural or regional funds for the development of regional airports in EU Objective 1 regions
• to improve the information exchange and co-operation between regional authorities, airlines and airport managers to utilise existing know how and experiences and best practise
