To get back to the real subject which of course is Aerospace related. Whilst the fishing industry will benefit from Brexit, the British Airline industry and community will not. The Aerospace industry is significantly larger than the fishing industry. The phenominal growth of the Airline industry has resulted from the Open skies deal between EU and EEA nations. It is subject to the jurisdiction of the ECJ. The Open Skies deal came about largely because of significant lobbying by the the UK CAA and government.
In electing to Brexit we are making a national choice to leave open skies, EASA and the Jurisdiction of the ECJ. A consortium of British Airports said last year that this was likely to ground 43% of flights. This would lead to difficulties in connecting passengers to and from EU airports travelling long haul out of the UK. It would also create massive logistical problems having so many aircraft grounded. Obviously the final deal with the EU will dictate the survival of the British Aerospace industry. Wishful thinking is however foolish in my view. The decision will be made systemically not rationally.
