Flyer beware: Ryanair to sell tickets with Brexit caveat
Ryanair has reiterated warnings over “Brexit complacency” in aviation and said it was still preparing to sell tickets with caveats from September, despite hopes a transitional deal for the UK’s departure from the EU was nearer. The airline’s CMO, Kenny Jacobs, said: “Everyone is saying it’ll be all right on the night once we get closer to April 2019. I don’t think you can take that for granted.” Unless a transition deal is signed, from September 2018 the airline will include the warning on its tickets: “This flight is subject to the regulatory environment allowing the flight to take place.” Jacobs added that a transition deal would not guarantee full market access for UK airlines to the EU, and vice-versa, after 2021. “That is less certain and the signals on that are more negative than we would like.” <br/>
