Au niveau mondial, l'aviation représente 56,6 millions d'emplois et son impact économique mondial est estimé à 2,2 milliards de dollars
At the Aviation & Environment Summit 2012 in Geneva, the Air Transport Action Group (ATAG) launched a new report highlighting aviation's essential contribution to European and global economies.
Aviation Benefits Beyond Borders, developed by consultancy firm Oxford Economics, compiles country-level reports to create the most comprehensive global picture of the economic and social benefits of air transport available today.
"This report is timely and eye-opening," said Ulrich Schulte-Strathaus, Secretary General of the Association of European Airlines (AEA).
"Aviation has a vital role to play in Europe's economic recovery, contributing $749 billion to European GDP and supporting 8.7 million jobs. We need our regulators to seize this potential by working with the industry to reinforce and strengthen Europe's global role."
