The European Cabin Crew Association EurECCA is an European organisation based in Belgium at the heart of Europe. It is made up of cabin crew unions from European Union Member States as well as accession states and bordering states.
EurECCA has no political connections; it concentrates on the interest of flight attendants speaking for actual more than 70% of organized cabin crew all over Europe.
EurECCA promotes and fights for the well developed European social model to improve general living and working conditions for its members in the European framework.
EurECCA is rooted in the airline industry, not politically aligned, independent with experts on cabin crew matters sharing the vision of a democratic, solidary and prosperous Europe, to work together on these matters on the European level.
EurECCA represents more than 35.000 cabin crew affiliated to 9 European Cabin Crew unions in the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland and Ireland. As we represent 70% of all organised cabin crew in Europe, we are a representative stakeholder at all tables that concern cabin and passenger safety, cabin crew health and safety as well as cabin crew working time limitations and social aspects.
EurECCA is legally based in Belgium with an office in Brussels.
