Spain welcomes provisional Brexit airline deal
The Spanish govt Thursday welcomed a provisional EU deal meant to mitigate the impact of a hard Brexit on airlines. "We have obtained 7 months to avoid any problem," Spanish Industry minister Reyes Maroto said. "We have more time for the company to decide which changes it opts for." Maroto was referring to a provisional deal reached in Brussels to ensure, among other things, that companies can continue to provide scheduled flights for 7 months after the date of application of post-Brexit air traffic regulations. The provisional agreement referred to by Maroto needs approval from member states' ambassadors in the EU Council's Permanent Representatives Committee. Iberia carries 19m passengers a year and is a major employer in Spain with almost 17,000 workers. <br/>
