The European Common Aviation Area Agreement will upgrade standards in the areas of safety, security and air traffic management and lead to more competitive conditions for air passengers.

This protection initiative was supported by members of the Canadian Association of Airline Passengers, the Consumers' Association of Canada from Saskatchewan, Transport 2000, the Consumers Council of Canada, the Air Passengers Safety Group, the Manitoba Society of Seniors, the Ontario Society (Coalition) of Senior Citizens' Organizations, and Rural Dignity of Canada.

At that time, one of the organizations that joined that coalition, along with the Public Interest Advocacy Centre and others, was the Air Passenger Safety Group, which was a group of people with strong expertise in the air industry who were particularly concerned about safety matters.

That analysis shall be simple and easy to understand and shall indicate whether there exists an increased safety risk to air passengers.
