France · National Assembly · 1 July 2025
M. Jean-Louis Thiériot attire l'attention de M. le ministre auprès du ministre de l'aménagement du territoire et de la décentralisation, chargé des transports, sur l'absence de stratégie européenne en matière d'aviation commerciale supersonique, à l'heure où les États-Unis prennent une avance déterminante dans ce domaine. Le 11 juin 2025, la Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) a officiellement levé l'interdiction, en vigueur depuis 1973, des vols supersoniques commerciaux au-dessus des terres américaines. Cette décision réglementaire ouvre la voie à l'essor de nouveaux projets industriels aux États-Unis, soutenus par une politique fédérale active. Plusieurs programmes avancés bénéficient d'un soutien institutionnel croissant, de financements privés conséquents, et d'un carnet de commandes qui commence à se remplir - y compris de la part de compagnies européennes. Aucune initiative industrielle d'envergure n'est aujourd'hui portée à l'échelle de l'Union européenne ou même nationalement, pour explorer la faisabilité d'un projet de type « Concorde 2 ». L'absence de programme public de recherche et développement, le flou réglementaire persistant en matière d'émissions sonores supersoniques, ainsi que le peu d'engagement des grands acteurs du secteur aéronautique européen, risquent de placer l'Europe en position de suiveur stratégique. Il lui demande donc si le Gouvernement envisage d'initier une coordination avec ses partenaires européens en vue d'un programme commun de recherche sur le vol commercial supersonique, et dans quelle mesure il est prévu de soutenir l'innovation aéronautique pour que la France et l'Europe ne ratent pas ce nouveau virage technologique.

Pilot and Aircraft Privacy Act This bill limits how Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) data may be used by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and government agencies. The bill also establishes disclosure requirements for certain user fees imposed on general aviation aircraft at public-use airports and limits the purposes for which the fees may be used. As background, ADS-B transmits information (e.g., location and weather information) between aircraft and air traffic control. The bill prohibits a person or government agency from using ADS-B data to identify an aircraft in order to assess a fee or otherwise impose a charge on the aircraft owner or operator. The bill also specifies that air traffic controllers may only use ADS-B data to assist in tracking aircraft and improving air traffic safety and efficiency, or for other purposes determined appropriate by the Department of Transportation after notice and public comment. Further, the bill prohibits any federal, state, local, territorial, or tribal official from initiating an investigation (excluding a criminal investigation) of a person based exclusively on ADS-B data. Under current law, this prohibition only applies to the FAA. In addition, owners and operators of public-use airports must publicly disclose financial information about certain expenses and cost estimates for airside safety projects (e.g., runway or taxiway safety improvements) prior to charging landing or takeoff fees for general aviation aircraft (e.g., aircraft used for personal, recreational, or flight training purposes). Further, any revenue from these fees may only be used for airside safety projects.

France · National Assembly · 24 June 2025
M. François-Xavier Ceccoli interroge Mme la ministre auprès du ministre de l'économie, des finances et de la souveraineté industrielle et numérique, chargée des comptes publics, sur l'absence, à ce jour, de notification à la Commission européenne des dispositions fiscales dérogatoires relatives au tarif de solidarité sur les billets d'avion (TSBA) pour la Corse et les territoires ultramarins. Lors de l'examen du projet de loi de finances pour 2025, le Gouvernement avait proposé une réforme des modalités de calcul du TSBA entraînant d'une part la création de nouvelles catégories de services et de l'autre une augmentation substantielle de son montant, y compris pour les liaisons entre la métropole, la Corse et les outre-mer. Face à cette situation, plusieurs initiatives parlementaires transpartisanes ont été engagées pour pallier les contraintes liées à l'insularité de ces territoires, qui ne disposent par nature d'aucune alternative ferroviaire ou routière à la desserte aérienne. Ces efforts ont conduit à un compromis trouvé en commission mixte paritaire le 3 février 2025, entérinant l'exonération pour la Corse et les outre-mer de l'augmentation prévue du TSBA. Cette volonté politique clairement affirmée par le Parlement a été traduite dans la loi : l'article 30 de la loi de finances pour 2025 a modifié l'article L. 422-25-1 du code des impositions sur les biens et services (CIBS) afin de préserver un tarif spécifique pour les embarquements en provenance ou à destination de la Corse et des territoires mentionnés à l'article 73 de la Constitution ou ceux relevant des lignes d'aménagement du territoire (LAT). Toutefois, cette disposition dérogatoire ne doit entrer en vigueur qu'à compter d'une date fixée par arrêté conjoint du ministre chargé du budget et du ministre chargé de l'aviation civile qui ne peut être postérieure de plus d'un mois à la date de réception par le Gouvernement de la réponse de la Commission européenne permettant de considérer ce dispositif législatif comme conforme au droit communautaire. Or, à ce jour, cette notification n'a toujours pas été transmise par le Gouvernement. Cette inertie administrative fragilise la portée du vote du législateur et crée un climat d'incertitude préjudiciable aux habitants, acteurs économiques locaux et aux voyageurs. En outre, l'article L. 422-25-1 précité n'a toujours pas fait l'objet d'une codification consolidée et le projet de rédaction en circulation renvoie de manière ambiguë à l'article L. 422-22, relevant du régime général. Par un courrier en date du 3 mars 2025, M. le député, accompagné de 19 parlementaires issus des territoires insulaires de métropole et d'outre-mer a alerté Mme la ministre sur ce retard de notification. Resté sans réponse à ce jour, le Secrétariat général des affaires européennes (SGAE) dont le dossier a depuis été délégué, ne semble pas non plus en mesure d'apporter des réponses concrètes à ce sujet. Cette démarche témoigne pourtant d'une préoccupation légitime et largement partagée par les territoires concernés, confrontés à un affaiblissement de leur compétitivité économique et à une érosion du pouvoir d'achat de leur population. Ainsi, à l'approche de l'examen du projet de loi de finances pour 2026, il souhaite savoir quand et dans quelle mesure le Gouvernement entend procéder à la notification des dispositions dérogatoires prévues pour la Corse et les outre-mer.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 16 June 2025
We think airlines should be forced to offer some tickets on flights that cannot be overbooked - "guaranteed boarding". An airline would then not be able to sell more of these tickets than there are actually available. Selling more of a product than a company is able to provide might be considered fraudulent in other settings. The justification by airlines is that selling extra seats means tickets are cheaper and planes are less empty. To maintain these benefits, ‘non-guaranteed boarding’ and ‘guaranteed boarding’ tickets could both be available to allow for passengers to accept the higher cost if they choose to. When someone has an event like a funeral to attend, they may wish to pay to guarantee their seat.
