The EU air safety system is established under Regulation 216/2008. Gibraltar is within the scope of this Regulation and there are no proposals to change this. . I remain resolute that Gibraltar Airport must be included in all EU aviation legislation and we are lobbying on the importance of this to the UK in Brussels and EU capitals.
