On 18th December 2018, the EU published a proposal for a short-term "bare-bones" Air Transport with the UK, to prevent flights stopping altogether.
This proposal depended upon UK reciprocation: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX%3A52018DC0890#page=7
This is subject to the UK conferring equivalent rights to EU air carriers, as well as the UK ensuring conditions of fair competition.
It appears that the UK DfT has responded today: Air services from the EU to the UK in the event of ‘no deal’ (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/air-services-from-the-eu-to-the-uk-in-the-event-of-no-deal)
Cutting it a bit fine, eh?
The agreement covers 3rd & 4th freedoms for passenger services, and 5th freedom for freight-only services, for 12 months.
