Electric aviation – a solution for short and mid-range flights

Adopted

414 in favour · 118 against · 93 abstained. 625 members voted.

What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Recalls that the altitude conditions specific to air transport impose particular technical constraints on batteries, compared to other modes of transport
• Notes that smaller electric aircraft can operate from existing shorter and simpler runways, which could reduce the need for large and expensive infrastructure in the future

Quoted from A9-0438/2023, which says more than these lines. Each is a whole paragraph; this site does not rewrite them.
