European and Arab world’s aviation unions’ joint Statement on the future of aviation

The World Health Organisation has included seafarers that should be prioritised for Covid-19 vaccination in the context of limited supplies.  

ECSA and ETF would like to draw the attention of the Ministers of Transport to the recently adopted ILO Resolution on COVID-19 vaccination for seafarers which recognizes the importance of seafarers as key workers and calls upon States to provide seafarers with access to COVID-19 vaccination at the earliest opportunity.
