Aviation Industry Charter for COVID-19

Preamble
On May 13, 2020, the Commission put forward guidelines to help progressively restore transport services and connectivity in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. These guidelines mandated the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) to issue further operational guidance for the aviation sector. On May 20, 2020, EASA and ECDC published the “COVID-19 Aviation Health Safety Protocol” providing operational guidelines to assist aeroplane operators, airport operators and national aviation authorities in protecting the health and safety of passengers, crews and staff whilst maintaining safe and secure operations.

The objective of this Charter is to promote the implementation of the operational guidelines by aeroplane operators and airport operators, in order to facilitate the recovery of air travel within the European Union and eventually with the rest of the world. The Charter also establishes a feedback loop on the performance of the measures implemented, to fine-tune and improve the guidance in the light of operational experience and of the expected increase in traffic volumes.

By signing this Charter, the participating aeroplane operators and airport operators commit to adhere to the principles and responsibilities stated below. Specifically, they commit to:

Article 1
Implement, as applicable to their specific operational environment, the recommendations provided in the “COVID-19 Aviation Health Safety Protocol”. 

Article 2
Coordinate with the national authorities the actions taken to address the recommendations, in order to achieve optimal risk mitigation.

Article 3
In agreement with the competent authorities, develop alternative means to mitigate the risks in case a recommendation cannot be implemented due to specific constraints, and share them with EASA and ECDC.

Article 4
Monitor the overall effectiveness of the measures taken to address the recommendations, and report any shortcoming to their competent authorities as well as to EASA and ECDC.

Article 5
Collect data and provide them on a weekly basis to EASA and ECDC, in order to continuously improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the recommended measures.

Article 6
Provide feedback to EASA and ECDC on any identified “best practice” stemming from the practical application of the guidelines in their specific operational context.
