At ILA Berlin - Pioneering Aerospace the Alliance for Zero-Emission Aviation (AZEA), co-chaired by easyJet and Airbus, has yesterday launched its vision for reducing aviation’s climate impact in Europe – with hydrogen and electric propulsion identified as key to the transition. Our Senior Policy Officer Eóghain M. (left) presented the #AZEA vision together with the Director of Defence François Arbault at the EU´s DG DEFIS (right) and Karine GUENAN VP ZEROe @Airbus (back) at a panel to the ILA audience. The vision paper has identified three propulsion technologies as having the most potential to power conventional aircraft without generating in-flight CO2. These include hydrogen combustion, hydrogen fuel cell, and battery-electric propulsion, which according to new findings contained in the vision paper, could help to reduce emissions by up to 31% by 2050 on intra-EEA routes in the best case scenario, and aviation's total warming impact by much more. The vision paper also outlines 5 key recommendation areas to help make the transition a reality, including: 1. Aircraft – The policy framework should continue to maximise support for electric and hydrogen aircraft technologies to help leverage private investment, including for technologies at high technological readiness levels. 2. Energy generation and transmission – Aviation stakeholders and governments should begin a dialogue to coordinate the integration of aviation’s energy demands into energy planning, including the connection of key aerodromes to electric and hydrogen grids, and the generation or import of renewable and low carbon energy. 3. Aerodromes – Aerodromes should start early dialogues with governments as well as electricity and hydrogen suppliers to prepare the adaptation of their infrastructures (including for instance additional space for battery charging and hydrogen infrastructure) and the supply of the required energy; government-industry cooperation will also be needed to equip the aviation workforce with new skills. 4. Certification, regulation, and standardisation – Regulators need to be supported in engaging with industry at an early stage, ensuring regulations and certification are electric- and hydrogen-ready, and certification costs should be considered. 5. Airspace – Integrating new aircraft into the European network will require operational coordination between airspace stakeholders and continued political support. With 160+ organisations forming the AZEA membership, all committed to fulfilling the objectives of the European Green Deal, the launch of this paper represents a significant milestone for the development of zero-carbon emission technology – something that the industry, policymakers and everyone connected with aviation will need to work together on to deliver.

Bonsoir, Je m’exprime rarement voir jamais sur les réseaux mais là…. Je suis scandalisée de votre qualité de service. Vol annulé pendant que nous étions en salle d’embarquement, pour motif litigieux car une compagnie concurrente a décollée une heure plus tard pour la même destination donc je mets clairement en doute votre bonne foi easyJet . Refus de votre part concernant une prise en charge ( même partielle) d’une réservation d’hôtel non annulable à moins de 48h de l’arrivée. Vous organisez souvent un week-end sans effectuer une réservation d’hôtel à l’arrivée ? Moi jamais que le motif de mon déplacement soit professionnel ou privé j’anticipe. Votre service client pour les réclamations est déplorable, perte de temps pour tous, vous et vos clients. Aucun rappel, pas d’interlocuteur, uniquement des mails automatiques. Quel dommage pour une compagnie de votre envergure. Je reste néanmoins à l’écoute et espère que ce message fera réagir vos services. Un client qui communique n’est pas un client perdu, mais la frontière est tenue.

The worst company in the world. I took a flight from Geneva to Menorca on 05/18/2024 and was mistreated by MEGANE T, the girl who was boarding. She was extremely rude to me and my daughter who had the baby on her lap. She should NEVER work serving customers. She and the man who appears in the photo. He was also extremely rude and shouted "do you want to stay here?" In the middle of the airstrip where the plane was waiting for us. Because of them I never intend to fly with easyjet again. I sincerely hope that action will be taken.

I will not stop posting until I get satisfaction. Stay away from these unscrupulous operators. I will never ever use their services again and highly encourage everyone to stay far, far away. Not only are they scam operators but their customer service is like talking to a rubber chicken that just squawks the same message over and over gain. They do not HELP you... they just bore you until you fall asleep or willingly disengage out of disgust. You are better off shooting yourself in the foot my friends and then walking to your destination then flying with EasyJet. I will be sharing this review everywhere and often! 😠
I am deeply frustrated with EasyJet's last-minute flight cancellation, which was notified only four hours before departure via email. At Naples airport, we received no assistance or alternative solutions from EasyJet staff. My girlfriend and I had to purchase last-minute flights with Lufthansa and rebook with EasyJet, as well as book an unexpected hotel stay. This caused us significant stress and anxiety. We request full refunds for the costs of our new flights (Lufthansa and EasyJet) and the hotel accommodation. Additionally, we seek compensation for the distress and inconvenience caused by this situation. This disruption jeopardized my girlfriend's important job interview and ruined my vacation plans. We have attached proof of our expenses and the circumstances of our situation. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Nicole Worrall is a vulnerable young adult, who has a learning disabilities with severe anxiety. She was travelling alone retuning from Alicante to Manchester on 26th June flight EZY2014. She travelled with the same hand luggage on her outward and return journeys, which fitted under her seat. Yet at final check-in prior to boarding with just minutes before departure, EasyJet staff member refused to let Nicole board the plane unless she paid £60.00 for her bag, which fitted under her seat. Nicole did not have the funds to pay, the EasyJet agent refused to speak with her Mother on the phone, EasyJet refused to accept her Mothers credit card as payment, then the EasyJet Agent refused to provide her name so we could make an official complaint. Nicole asked if her parents could collect the bag later that today and was later told the bag would be destroyed if she didn’t pay & take it on the plane! There was no cooperation from EasyJet the agent. Nicole was picked on because she was vulnerable and an easy target for the Easyjet agent to earn some potential additional commission. With just seconds before departure we transferred payment to Nicole’s bank account. I am ready for this complaint to go viral.
