Paris, April 19 (Xinhua) French Business Aviation Federation President Lionnelle Chelang 19th, said the European countries due to the Icelandic volcano smoke impact of air traffic control caused by the French airline industry losses as high as 50 million to 60 million euros. Chelang called on the European Union and European countries to give financial help to airlines affected by volcanic soot.  He also suggested that the European Union set up a foundation to help airlines weather the storm. French airline chief executive Pierre-Henry Gourjon said the same day that the French-KLM group was affected by the Icelandic volcano soot loss of 35 million euros per day, accounting for about One-fourth of the European airline industry losses.  He said that if European air control could not be lifted as soon as possible, some 500,000 direct jobs and 1.5 million indirect jobs in the KLM group would fall into the "total technical unemployment" situation.  France's Ministry of Economy 20th will convene aviation, tourism and other industry representatives to assess Iceland's volcanic soot caused by economic losses and impact.  Joaquín, the European Commission's competition commissioner, said 19th that the EU could consider authorizing governments to provide government subsidies to these companies. According to the International Air Transport Association estimates, the temporary air traffic control measures will cause the European aviation industry a daily loss of up to 147 million euros.
