have easyJet wondered what would happen if the UK government said something along the lines of "You ban our flights into Europe and we will ban yours on a reciprocal basis"?
We are into what I hope and is the highly hypothetical here, but if moving aircraft onto a EU27 registration means those Easyjet aircraft will be available for internal EU flights post Brexit day the move makes some sense.
There still seems to be a bit of a mindset displayed by some that the European airlines (LoCos and others) are only interested in flights to/from the U.K. and that that is the only market they need to protect. It may surprise some to know that there is a rather large amount of air travel performed between the other EU nations.
