EasyJet says flying rights now Brexit proof

EasyJet said its flying rights would not be affected by Britain's departure from the EU after shareholders voted to amend the airline's legal structure and after a change to its British flying license. To protect their flying rights after Brexit, airlines from across Europe, including Wizz and Ryanair, have been making changes and applying for new licenses, a process which EasyJet said it was close to concluding. "Structurally we now have everything in place that protects all of our flying rights both in Europe and the UK," an EasyJet spokesman said. At its annual general meeting, shareholders approved changes to its articles of association to ensure the company would remain EU-owned and controlled after Brexit, thereby allowing EasyJet to continue to fly between and within EU countries. <br/>
