#SavePeopleNotPlanes: No billion-euro bailouts for the aviation industry!

Austria | Belgium | Denmark | France | Germany | International | Italy | Mexico | Portugal | Spain | The Netherlands | United Kingdom


While the entire world is fighting the coronavirus and countless workers are losing their income, the aviation industry is calling for an unconditional rescue by taxpayers. A bailout for the aviation industry must not result in the aviation sector simply returning to business as usual once the Corona crisis subsides. Whenever public funds are deployed, workers and the climate must come first!

We demand:

  1. People first
  2. A structural shift towards climate-just mobility
  3. No taxes? No bailout money!

To make this happen, we will be raising awareness and applying political pressure in a variety of ways over the coming weeks. This call to action, supported by over 250 organisations worldwide, is just the beginning — you can stay up to date and get involved via the Stay Grounded Newsletter.
