Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Ryanair has reported a 42% increase in profit after tax for its financial half-year after traffic rose 3% to 119m passengers.
54% : taxes, by bringing [Emissions Trading System] rates into line with [Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation], and urgent [air traffic control] reform by protecting overflights during national strikes, and ensuring that Europe's major ATC providers in France, Germany, and Spain are fully staffed for the first wave of daily departures," the company said.
53% : The airline made €2.54bn after tax in the six months to the end of September, up from €1.79bn a year ago.
35% : "While the Commission stands idly by, the EU Parliament is proposing even more stupid rules (such as further increasing free carry-on luggage limits - even though there is no room in the aircraft cabin for these extra bags) which will only lead to more airport security and flight delays as well as higher costs, and higher fares for Europe's consumers."
