<p>The European Commission has proposed a Regulation which, if adopted, would allow
for the continuation of flights from the UK to the EU for a period of 12 months. Nothing
has yet been agreed, and the Regulation still needs to be approved by the European
Council and the European Parliament. The Government continues to engage with our European
partners regarding the continuation of air connectivity and the Regulation remains
under close review.</p><p> </p><p>The Department will continue to engage with stakeholders
across the aviation industry. It is important to note that these measures would only
apply in the event that the UK leaves the EU without having concluded a Withdrawal
Agreement. The Government’s priority is to leave the EU with a Withdrawal Agreement
in place, and then to negotiate an ambitious and comprehensive air transport agreement
with the EU, which not only maintains connectivity, but also enables the aviation
industry to evolve and innovate.</p>
