EU will do nothing to mitigate this as otherwise would allow Gulf 3 etc to buy up EU carriers and LF/AF will not allow it happen.

IAG is likely to be one with a big issue as only 24% of its shareholders are EU citizens.

As highlighted on anotehr thread is Stelios decides he is British then Easyjet have a problem as he holds 33% of shares.

It is likely to add volatility to the share prices as UK managed funds will have their holdings controlled plus it means takeover and mergers can only occur in EU countrys.
