Michael O'Leary: Flights to and from the UK could be temporarily halted after Brexit
Ryanair CE Michael O'Leary has said there is a remote possibility that flights to the UK may be suspended during the Brexit negotiations. O'Leary said if the UK leaves the Open Skies arrangement a new deal will have to be agreed. He says if they leave the current arrangement it could leave passengers temporarily without flights. “Then they've got to put in place some bilateral agreement with the EU and it is going to be very hard to see how a bilateral gets put in place with an 18 month timeframe. So there is a possibility, unlikely but a possibility, that there may be no flights to and from the UK after March ‘19 for a 3 or 6 month period. That may be one of the things that shocks the British electorate into realising, ‘Oh my God, what have we done here?’.” <br/>
