EASY_OUT
It's too early to say but, I have already been approached this morning from interested parties to start thinking about the new realities of EU-UK in the aviation market:
1-an old airline is ready to demand EASY out of their country and EU market.
2-some aviation investors, want to start ASAP with a new LLC.
3-1 big ATO already thinking about the consequences for their UK clients...
Just saying...
Interesting times ahead. Unfortunately the Rome treaty is basically the armageddon for BREXIT...and people are starting to think about using it!
Poor good old Britain.

Do you believe that the Germans had not thought about that? DLH has a major problem: they need Eurowings to be successful and they will play all the political power in their sleeves in order to have that.
Negotiations will be long and could turn any direction but, remember that EU is mostly run by Germans...

As the current way to set up an airline seems to involve contract crews on IOM registered, Bahamian-leased aircraft paid through a subsidiary in Lichtenstein, the whole thing is so obfuscated that no-one really knows who owns and runs what. Add in all the complicated agreements and conventions between nations and blocs and I don’t see much changing, really.
IAG, for one, seem to have seen this coming (or are fortuitous) as they are both in and out of the EU simultaneously...

I think it is not about the EEA, but the the ECAA (European Common Aviation Area).
Norway is part of the ECAA - the UK would need to negotiate a membership with the EU. And I see little incentive to let the UK in as European airlines have more to loose than to win from that. Norway is mainly in because otherwise SAS could not have been accommodated and nobody thought of Norwegian back then. All other ECAA members are really minor players and were let in because they pose no threat. Switzerland as a non-ECAA member has a bilateral with the EU, but this linked to other bilaterals that entail some of the very rights that led the Brits to brexit.
Norvegian everyone? Nothing will change....

Fullwings IOM aircraft cannot be used for anything other than general aviation indeed if you know of any A/C with an 'M' registration being used commercially I would urge to bring that to the authorities.

There are lots of players that will gain from restricting UK companies...

The decision has been made yesterday and as good democrats the Europeans have to accept it. Whatever may happen, I wish the UK all the best and, yes, good luck as well on their new solitary way.
As 40% of European air traffic is to/from the UK it's too important a market to disregard and arrangements will need to be made. How about pilot's licenses ? Back to the old British Licence perhaps ?
What about pilots working for Ryanair in EU bases with a British passport, will they need to apply for work permits ? An Irish passport is now much more valuable than a British one as the Irish have always had the right to live and work in the UK and can also do the same in any EU country.

Metro Man, is that O/D traffic or is it transfer?
In the first case, this number is not unlikely to shrink with less EU citizens taking up residency in the UK and travelling between their original country and their new home.
In the second case, this is likely to shrink as well as long as there is no open skies agreement. This will benefit the continental European airlines not insignificantly, so expect pressure from those on the EU to mind their position when negotiating the impending divorce.

The UK is not in the strongest position when it comes to those negotiations unfortunately. The remaining EU countries have less to lose by denying the UK an open skies agreement (and many other things) than the UK has by doing the same. Also, the EU is likely to take a tough stance on the UK "pour encourager les autres": there are separationists in other countries, albeit not on such a large scale as in the UK.

No need to worry to much
easyJet eyes new European operation if Britain flies solo

EASA is an agency of the European Union and may be unwilling to issue licences on the strength of a non member country's aviation authority. Perhaps the old CAA Licence will be reintroduced and pilots wanting an EASA Licence will need to do the tests in Europe.
Employing UK nationals would be less attractive for low costs with multiple bases across Europe as work permits would be needed. Any British based low cost operating intra European flights needs to start thinking about its future base of operations.
Britain has always had a trading relationship with the rest of Europe, it will be interesting to see what form the new one will take. Malaysia kicked Singapore out in 1965, on its own Singapore has done far better over the last 50 years.

Anyway, no need to get over-excited - it's only the day after the vote! At least two years to go before actual exit! Lots of time for common sense to prevail. If common sense doesn't prevail - well, we'll know who our friends really are, and who our enemies are.
