<p>The Government’s recently published White Paper sets out proposals for an Air Transport
Agreement which seeks to maintain reciprocal liberalised aviation access between and
within the territory of the UK and the EU.</p><p> </p><p>It also sets out proposals
for a free trade area for goods, as well as UK participation in the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA), which would avoid the need for customs and regulatory checks
at the UK’s borders with the EU.</p><p> </p><p>The continuation of flights to and
from the EU is far and away the highest probability. However, we are also, as a matter
of common sense, considering possible alternatives to a negotiated agreement. The
CAA is making the appropriate contingency preparations to deliver a continuity of
service in regulation. This includes a scenario in which it takes on the responsibilities
of EASA.</p>
