Assesment and outlook for air traffic between Eastern Europe and Emilia Romagna
After the first steps in the economic orientation towards the West, in the 1990s under the European political and financial influence, east European countries developed their transport systems with a systematic policy of integration with the western part of the continent. In this context, an essential factor that has decisively contributed to the development of airline routes between Emilia Romagna (an Italian region) and eastern Europe is trade (coupled with migrations).
Bilancio e prospettive del traffico aereo tra est Europa ed Emilia Romagna
Nel quadro della crescita economica dell'Europa centrale ed orientale, gli scambi di capitali, persone e merci hanno visto un incremento notevole soprattutto verso l’Europaoccidentale. Le due aree, fino a pochi anni fa nettamente divise, hanno integrato, non senza difficoltà e contraddizioni, le rispettive economie.
Trends in the airport sector in Central and Eastern Europe
Currently over 60% of central and eastern Europe’s trade is with the western part of the continent and this has benefited from exponential growth in the last twenty years.

In the case of airports, civil aircraft and crucial services for air transport, it was a matter of updating and relaunching individual airport systems as well as the larger regional system.
