UK referendum could affect airline traffic rights
A British vote to leave the EU in Thursday's referendum would call into question EU agreements on open airspace that have allowed a huge expansion of air travel, creating uncertainty for British and other EU airlines. Flying rights between two countries, including how many airports a carrier may fly to and how often, are typically negotiated in bilateral treaties. But by creating the single aviation market in the 1990s, the EU allowed the region's airlines unlimited access to the skies of fellow member states, doubling traffic growth in the first 4 years. A Brexit vote in Thursday's British referendum on EU membership would therefore affect all pan-European carriers, not just British ones. In the immediate future, airline bosses are worried about the impact a Brexit could have on travel demand. <br/>
