Hard Brexit will not lead to flights being grounded, says IAG chief Walsh

The CE of IAG has said he does not see any circumstance in which a hard Brexit would lead to flights being grounded. Willie Walsh said while he does not think anyone can predict what is going to happen with Brexit, IAG is relaxed about the situation. "It has to play out and it will play out," said Walsh. "I'm not going to predict what will happen politically. But I think from an aviation point of view without question there will be a comprehensive agreement." He also scotched suggestions that there could be a cap put on flights from the UK to the EU post-Brexit, because there is legal framework there that must be observed. "This is a time for people to be calm and ultimately we'll see this being resolved." Walsh added that it was up to politicians to act. "I can't find any country in the EU 27 or the UK who wants to see flights grounded," he said. <br/>
