European pilots and cabin crew feel strongly that flight safety is no longer the primary concern of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and of some industry stakeholders. In a compelling new documentary, aviation professionals express their fears and profound disappointment with the

"Single Pilot Operations will never happen" is a comment you can often come across on social media. However, we regret to be the ones bursting the bubble but commercial flights with just one pilot at the controls might become a reality as early as 2027!

European pilots recognise climate change as a monumental challenge, and we are committed to the European Green Deal. Recognising aviation’s integral role as part of the transportation infrastructure, pilots are keen to contribute to transforming aviation toward climate neutrality. 

Microsleeps in the cockpit, insufficient rest opportunities to prevent cumulative fatigue, extending flight duties beyond the legal maximum: a newly released report paints a poor picture of fatigue risk management in European aviation. The report, ‘A fatigue survey of European Pilots’ by

Disciplinary threats, safety culture deficiencies or subtle commercial pressure on crew – the consequences of these issues could be nothing short of catastrophic. But all those are in the somewhat grey zone of occurrence reporting. Or not?

We are looking for an organised multi-tasker to assist in administrative, IT and organisation tasks of the association. The ideal candidate is a recent graduate with up to 2 years' experience, fluent in English, IT-skilled and resourceful.

This Checklist has been compiled by ECA to draw attention to a number of safety-relevant issues that crews are likely to be faced with during a period where the European aviation system is expected to be strained to the maximum – this summer already for the second year in a row

Wet-leasing, also known as ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) leasing, has become a common industry practice where airlines lease aircraft and accompanying crews from other carriers. Passenger feedback indicates dissatisfaction with the experience of flying on older aircraft

Troubling indications of potential labor law violations were revealed in an investigation on wet-leased aircraft, carried out by the European Cockpit Association (ECA). Since the beginning of the summer, ECA thoroughly examined the activities of more than 100 wet-leased aircraft in Europe,
