ARC members preparing Interreg application for QLAIR

The ARC members have made this kind of best practise experiences in the previous STRAIR project and in the QLAIR project and are well suited for a capitalisation project.

The QLAIR project will continue with all partners, and the Intereg application will concern a subproject lead by El Prat de Llobregat from the Barcelona Airport Region. A project outline has been made and a provisional project budget is under discussion. Each one of the partners is now looking into their specific actions based on the findings from the QLAIR project. ARC will be responsible for disseminating the results and bring the findings to the European level. El Prat de Llobregat and Viladecans (Barcelona), Flanders Region (Brussels), City of Vantaa (Helsinki), Mazovia Province (Warsaw), Département d´Essonne (Orly), Fingal County Council (Dublin) and ARC has agreed to participate in the final preparation. Both A.V.A.R. in Prague and Sigtuna in Stockholm are considering becoming partners in the project application.

The application will be submitted to the Intereg 4C Secretariat in the beginning of March. The partnership welcomes other cities and regions,with an interest in improving the quality of life around their airports, to participate in finalising the application. ARC members will find the documents available on the members page for the QLAIR project. Other cities and regions are welcome to contact the ARC Secretariat by phone or by e-mail info@airportregions.org
