So if we drop out of the European Aviation Safety Agency and don't replace it with a separate deal with the EU what happens?*sigh*
Ok, travel is my industry. I run my own business, I'm chairman of an industry trade body.
I can categorically assure you that bookings and flights for post March 2019 have been taken for months. There are no issues and no panic.
Airspace is not governed by the EU, only open skies is, and irrespective of deals or otherwise, it's business as usual, because none of your holidays are likely to involve issues such as sixth freedoms or free standing cabotage within the EU or cross border selling.
The idea that airspace would be denied is spectacularly idiotic, not least because it would entail the whole of the EU not being able to fly to the US and Canada for a start.
There are many issues about us leaving the EU, but this really is project fear stupidity, even before you get into the obvious things like Spain's economy collapsing without British tourism.
Book your holiday.
I've heard that planes will be able to take off but not land at any airport in an EU country. Instead, they'll circle at low level until they run out of fuel then crash as close as possible to the airport of destination. Surviving passengers will then be able to gather together their scattered luggage and get on with their holiday. An added bonus to this method is that you won't have to queue at customs.
So if we drop out of the European Aviation Safety Agency and don't replace it with a separate deal with the EU what happens?
Safety? Nothing at all. Why would it? We have the CAA, that's their job. As it was until the EU took those powers.
Are we somehow unable to stop aircraft falling out of the sky in this country? Are the Europeans going to decide that we can't?
Why would it make the slightest difference?
Sadly you’re not the type of expert some remainers want to listen too.
Nice try though and apologies to all for talking politics in here.
I don't care which way people voted. Good arguments either side and both perfectly honourable positions.
I do care if we are at the point where complete bullshit risks genuinely damaging our economy. I don't mean the thread starter at all, I mean those who have created the uncertainty where none exists. That's not politics, that's wicked.

Well said mate.
Twitter has a hell of a lot to answer for.

Because other experts reckon that the transfer of powers from the European Safety Agency back to the CAA and ratification by other international regulators will take some time.Safety? Nothing at all. Why would it? We have the CAA, that's their job. As it was until the EU took those powers.

Still you know best.

Yeah, sorry, I just work every day with this stuff and see bookings coming in constantly. I won't be up at the level of Sky News talking heads, you're spot on. This is just, you know, my job. What would I know compared to "experts" ?

Thank you for not addressing the issue I raised.
Indeed.

Well that's bloody rich, given you didn't bother addressing a single point I made.
And yet I did do so with yours, but you didn't bother to respond to it. That it won't make the slightest difference to anyone's holiday.
I realise you would dearly love the world to collapse on the 1st April next year, but it won't. I'm so sorry. I just work in this industry at a senior level. What would I know?
