Well that's a totally naive statement. 🤔

Those aircraft you are referring to in most cases will still have to fly in EU airspace on route to the UK. If an airline or aircraft are banned by the EU then overflights in EU airspace is prohibited. In most if not all cases that scenario would affect those aircraft entering UK air space.

Those unelected bureaucratics in Brussels are majority made up of "elected" Euro Members of Parliament.

Someone obviously is a brexiter. I myself am one too but I don't make outlandish and naive statements regarding the subject.
