Airline chiefs to discuss open skies post-Brexit

Saturday, 14 Nov, 2016 0

Representatives from UK airlines will hold talks with the Government today over Britain’s access to open skies following the Brexit, according to the Daily Telegraph.

Since 1994, any EU airline has been free to fly between any two points in Europe, but the situation post-Brexit is one of the many issues that need to be addressed.

The Telegraph reports: "Airlines including British Airways and easyJet are preparing to fight to operate in Europe without any limitations through the ‘Open Skies’ scheme. 

"As part of a planned series of meetings with the UK’s major industries, the Department for Exiting the European Union will sit down with senior figures from the aviation industry to address the looming changes it can expect in the coming years."

The Department for Exiting the European Union was set up after the Brexit vote to oversee negotiations to leave the EU and establish the future relationship between the UK and the EU.
