Very messy with French Minister indicating they may have to stop planes flying into or overflying France
( ....many of us thought they had already , but that's another story
)
Tit for tat as the French probably haven't thought about the UK blocking airspace to ALL flights overflying UK effectively stopping not just the French but ALL EU-US flights for EXACTLY the same reason!
An idea mentioned by Ian Duncan Smith should technical compliance be raised funnily enough by the French!

Empty Threats
Just empty threats from France as per usual.
I mean I doubt they'd want to see an enormous drop in passenger figures and income into Paris-CDG & Nice from the UK, not forgetting that UK flights into French regional airports like Avignon, Bergerac, Béziers, Chambéry, Dinard, Grenoble, La Rochelle, Le Touquet, Limoges & Nîmes outweigh many other airlines in terms of passenger numbers, or in some cases only have UK airlines operating into them - so many regional areas will be up in arms...

Watching a parade of Austrian registered easyJet flights arriving and departing Gatwick recently, I was wondering what was the point of this wholesale shift from the UK register to the Austrian. My guess was as a backstop arrangement to protect easyJet from post-Brexit rule changes restricting, or even stopping, flights by UK carriers into Europe. If that guess is correct, 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"? If the easyJet move is indeed for protection against post-Brexit disruption, could it all go wrong?

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.

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.

Speculate all you like, but the fact is that with six months to go there are no legislative or regulatory agreements in place for flights between the UK and the EU after we leave.
That isn't a lot of time to get 'seamless' processes in place, especially if it really is "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed"

No country can stop overflight (unless there is a strike! 
) - that is nothing to do with Brexit, so that’s a total scare tactic as per usual.
