Question for Department for Transport

UIN HL13977, tabled on 25 February 2019

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assurances they have sought or received that UK registered airlines will be able to operate post-Brexit (1) between the UK and EU destinations, and (2) between destinations within the EU.

The Government continues to work towards a Withdrawal Agreement with the EU. If that is concluded, UK airlines would continue to operate as now in the period immediately after exit under the transition arrangements. In the event that the UK leaves the EU without having concluded a Withdrawal Agreement, the EU institutions are in the process of adopting a Regulation that would temporarily maintain rights for UK airlines to operate to and from the EU, but not within the EU.
