Airlines grounded by Brexit
Will 2019 be the summer of British staycations? The answer is yes if you believe Ryanair. The carrier has been one of the most vocal about the disastrous impact Brexit could have on the aviation market. Ryanair has repeatedly warned that the worst-case scenario could be no flights between the UK and Europe for a period of weeks or even months if the govt fails to strike an early Brexit aviation deal with the EU. “There could be a situation where you’re going to have to get comfortable with staycations for the summer of 2019. Those trips down to Portugal and Spain…aren’t really going to happen,” says Neil Sorahan, Ryanair’s CFO. While many will brush this off as scaremongering, the airline’s warning does highlight the huge uncertainty, and upheaval, Britain’s aviation industry faces following the UK’s triggering of Article 50. <br/>
