" .</ P> <P> Fanda Lun said that the European Aviation Safety Agency previously released flight ban "too rigid", "They should have a better analysis of satellite data, and then shut down based on risk assessment to determine which pieces airspace." .In addition, air carriers and regulators should be earlier access to flight, and determine whether to resume flights early. .</ P> <P> revive the rail </ P> <P> large number of flights grounded, the stranded tourists turn to land and water ways to their respective destinations. .Railway transport pressure surge, many lines of advance tickets sold out a few days. .</ P> <P> Some argue that Europe is too dependent on air transport, the railway network construction deficiencies. .Many train passengers complained that cross-border travel in Europe, need to purchase separately on different sections, and can not buy ticket. .Difficult to accurately grasp the passenger ticket information different sections of the journey, so travel costs. .</ P> <P> "The crisis reminded us that investment in all modes of transport in the long run how important it is," the European Parliament Jerzy Jerzy Buzek said, "we feel stranded at the airport in recent days had to .taste for other travel modes.
