Joost Van Doesburg, policy advisor, European Shippers Council, answers:

"I DO not think Single European Skies [SES] will be achieved in the next few years.

"I am not really sure why the DFS has made this decision. I share the AEA’s disappointment.

"What will airlines do when it becomes too expensive to fly over Germany? They will fly around it.

"We should work together on SES. We [in Europe] should not compete

with each other on this matter . ."
