EGSO poziva Europsku komisiju da razvije sveobuhvatan plan za oporavak europskog zrakoplovstva u cjelini i predvidi posebne resurse za potporu svim podsektorima i njihovoj radnoj snazi. U mišljenju Thomasa Kroppa usvojenom na plenarnom zasjedanju u rujnu, Odbor je ustvrdio da treba reagirati donošenjem ambicioznih i koordiniranih politika i pritom povući jasnu crtu između početne kratkotrajne faze oporavka i potrebe da se srednjoročno i dugoročno osigura međunarodna konkurentnost tog sektora i jednaki uvjeti za sve.
Sa margina plenarnog zasjedanja, g. Kropp je napomenuo: „Zrakoplovstvo se već suočavalo s krizama, ali ovako nešto još nikad nismo vidjeli. Prema najnovijim procjenama sektor zrakoplovstva neće se u potpunosti oporaviti prije 2024. godine. Europske institucije i druga međunarodna tijela tek trebaju koordinirati regulatorne mjere da bi mogli uspostaviti međunarodne standarde. Zrakoplovstvo ne čine samo zrakoplovne kompanije, tu su i drugi bitni akteri poput zračnih luka, pružatelja usluga u zračnoj plovidbi te zemaljskih i drugih usluga i u potrazi za rješenjem treba voditi računa o svima njima.“
Općenito govoreći, Komisija treba uspostaviti odgovarajuću ravnotežu između mjera oporavka i financijskih zahtjeva koji proizlaze iz europskog zelenog plana i pritom izbjeći nametanje dodatnih regulatornih opterećenja, posebice u fazi oporavka jer se cijeli sektor nalazi u izuzetno lošoj financijskoj situaciji.
