And there was I reading that the EU was heading back into recession and that France had recalled its Ambassador from Italy while counties in Eastern Europe won't do what they are told by EU bureaucrats. Meanwhile London's 6 airports are all planning massive expansion despite Brexit. No one is saying that on March 29th there won't be issues but they will sort themselves out.

Also remember when the minimum wage was introduced with institutions and some politicians saying it would cause mass unemployment. Well they didn't get that right did they.

And what a responsible airline would have done is to position-out its aircraft and lease-in a charter to cover the Liverpool flights until 29 March.

But as usual, we see that the 'contract' between an airline and its cutomers isn't worth the pixels on the screen. The airline can do what it likes and the passengers can pound sand.

Maybe govts could get their acts together and give airlines a proper regulatory framework to work ijn rather than indulging in games of checken with the economies of nations?

I think they're hoping for a deal which will allow Turin to operate but have a plan to switch it to another route if it can't.

That's why Ryanair UK has been set up

From Liverpool most of their routes were duplications of Easyjet or Ryanair or both. Whilst they were popular destinations they flew to, out side passengers going to Eastern Europe , this airline was relatively unknown compared to FR and Easy, however I'd find it hard to believe that they couldn't sell seats to Malaga for examp!e .They still managed to get between 70 and 85 % load factor on LPL- ROM which isn't too shabby. The Brexit uncertainty can't have helped things, and has now been mentioned by Blue Air , Flybe and Bmi regional as a reason for their respective problems.

Most UK aviation is actually expanding, I assume therefore that must also be as a result of Brexit?

I think the UK will at least initially be rather more lenient towards non UK aircraft operating from the UK to elsewhere than the EU may be after the year end if there is a hard brexit.

If the worst comes to the worst Ryanair UK will have at east eight months to re-register the aircraft operating UK routes.

That's what they hope to do, but they will have plans in place to change quickly if they can't - just like they did with Ryanair Sun which was set up just to do 'bucket and spade' flights from Poland.

As things stand, my understanding is that there is no regulatory framework for flights between the UK and the EU27 after 29/03

flyBMI....? I guess you mean most other UK aviation.

It's been expanding since 2011. There was no sign of Brexit then. The impact of Brexit on UK aviation, whether it will be positive or negative, will be measured in the months/years to come.

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.

Germania, Primera Air, Skyworks, VLM, Air Berlin, SmallPlanet, Niki, Darwin Airlines.....

Maybe Cat Techie thinks Brexit caused these airlines to go bust in the last 2 years. That would be the claim if they were UK based airlines.

You're having a laugh, look forward to EU parliament elections.





Indeed! At last the truth is out.

For a cut price airline that is atrocious.

If it was Easyjet or Ryanair they would have certainly carried more passengers, Blue Air is still a new entity for non Eastern European passengers from Liverpool
