Will your travel insurer cover your holiday against Brexit flight disruption? - MSE News

Reality Check

1) UK has already agreed that EU airlines can continue to fly to UK with no disruption.
2) EASA has already accepted that existing UK Air Operator Certificates will be valid for at least 9 months following a no deal Brexit (ie. no disruption to existing flights)
3) EASA recognises the CAA as a valid authority and is already accepting applications for new Third Country Operators for operators authorised by the CAA. Providing these are applied for correctly and paid for by 15/03 then they will come into operation on 30/03. (ie. no disruption to new flights)
4) The UK has already concluded replacement Open Skies agreements with nine countries covered by EU Open Skies agreements, including a deal with USA and Canada which is believed to be better than the EU agreement (ie. no disruption to flights to non-EU countries)

Tim Alderslade, chief executive of Airlines UK, the industry association that represents 13 UK carriers, said: "Flights will continue between the UK and EU even in the event of a no-deal Brexit, as we have always said."

Airport Operators Association chief executive Karen Dee said "Travellers looking to book their 2019 holidays, family visits and business trips can rest assured that there will be no disruption to their flights in a no-deal Brexit scenario."
