One has to look at the balance books of UK airlines, both long and short haul operators to see what mess they are actually in. Look at our regional operators. FlyBe - Brought out before it collasped. Eastern Airways - Bristows are keeping it afloat. BMI Regional - gone. Yes, it is the result of Brexit, the devaluation of the pound over the last 3 years, the removal of carbon tax exemptions by the EU for regional carriers that has happen now, the accumulations of which are helping tip companies over. Only good thing about Brexit would be to bin the 3 hour tech delay compensation laws. However the Tories do that? Fat chance.
