In a no deal scenario, the EU’s adopted Regulation on connectivity gives UK airlines the right to fly to and from the EU from the day of exit until March 2020, allowing time to progress longer-term arrangements.

Both sides are committed to maintaining connectivity.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 18/07/2019 15:47:14 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
