European Low Fares Airline Association

The European Low Fares Airline Association (ELFAA) was an organization formed in 2004 to represent low-cost carriers and lobby European institutions on their behalf.[3] It ceased operations and disbanded in 2016, as major members joined the newly formed trade group Airlines for Europe. ELFAA was based in Brussels, Belgium.

Before stopping operations in 2016, ELFAA had ten members: British Airways and Iberia and low-cost carriers EasyJet, Jet2.com, Iberia Express, Norwegian Air Shuttle, Ryanair, Volotea, Vueling, and Wizz Air. BA and Iberia joined in 2015, citing similar views regarding air transport liberalisation and position regarding major Middle East airlines.[4]

gollark: *Can* you do that without dying horribly? Supernovae are pretty energetic, and all.
gollark: There's no way they would leave dealing with the supernova problem until the last minute or anything.
gollark: Can you download the high res version and play it elsewhere? That's probably the sort of thing they want to stop, but it might be doable.
gollark: Might as well just use Debian for non-raspberry systems.
