ATAG is working with governments and stakeholders worldwide to press for right decisions to be taken to address air transport's infrastructure and capacity problems - whilst balancing the needs of consumers, the economy, society and the environment.

In 2005 and 2006, ATAG has focused its efforts on the environment and organised two Aviation & Environment Summits (see www.environment.aero). This industry-led event, co-organised by ATAG, with Airports Council International (ACI), the International Air Transport Association ( IATA), the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO) and the International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations (ICCAIA), brings together airlines, airports, manufacturers, air navigation services providers, and other industry players to address environmental issues of common concern with the aim to identify and communicate joint industry messages/data to sustain air transport's development and secure its future growth. 

This Summit is the only international, high level aviation and environmental event of its kind, and was set up to ensure that all industry players are able to meet on a regular basis to discuss and address environmental issues and challenges and, where possible, seek coordinated solutions.
