Time is fast running out to prevent a Brexit aviation crisis
With every ticking minute towards the day when the UK exits the European Union (EU), anxiety is growing among those in the airline industry about when replacement agreements will be secured to ensure uninterrupted commercial air traffic in and out of the UK.
Anxiety levels have now ratcheted up several more notches since the European Commission Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport confirmed what everyone knew, but hoped would not need to be spelled out with so little time left. In a “notice to operators,” the Commission stated that, unless agreed otherwise, the UK will become “a third country” from 0000 local time March 30, 2019 and EU aviation law will no longer apply to the UK.
Less there be any misunderstanding about what that means, the EC was explicit: UK carriers will no longer have access to air transport agreements between the EU and third countries, whether negotiated directly by the EU, or by the Member States acting jointly (as is the case with the EU-US bilateral). Likewise, EU carriers and third countries with EU agreements will no longer have traffic rights to, from and beyond the UK.
All airline operating licenses, air transport agreements and aviation certificates will similarly become void; to “obtain and keep” an EU operating license and access intra-EU air traffic rights, airlines must have their head office or registered office within an EU Member State and be majority owned and effectively controlled by EU interests.
“The aviation sector is highly integrated and harmonized at Union level. The current market access and freedoms enjoyed by aviation stakeholders have been granted under Union law, including notably free and unlimited access to intra-EU air traffic,” the EC pointed out. “In view of the considerable uncertainties, in particular concerning the content of a possible withdrawal agreement, all operators are reminded of certain legal repercussions stemming from currently applicable rules of Union law in the field of air transport when the United Kingdom becomes a third country.”
That “third country” status is looking increasingly like a looming crisis for aviation.
“Here it is in black and white from the EU Commission—UK flights to the EU will be grounded in March 2019 should no agreement be reached,” UK pilots union BALPA general secretary Brian Strutton commented. “We need the UK government to sort air traffic rights now … no deal is not an option.”
IATA director general and CEO Alexandre de Juniac warned that if the UK fails to establish traffic rights for airlines before it leaves the EU, it would be “a disaster.”
IATA is urging that airline traffic rights are established as soon as possible and by October 2018 at latest because airlines set their schedules and sell tickets at least six months ahead of operation.
“The worst case would be that connectivity is not maintained between the UK and EU due to the disappearance of traffic rights. Traffic rights are a key issue,” de Juniac said during a media briefing in Geneva in early December. “It would be a disaster for UK-based carriers because they would not be allowed to land in Europe. I don’t think it will happen, but it is a risk.”
A risk, indeed. What one senior industry executive described to ATW as “the doomsday scenario” is turning from the unthinkable to the possible. And while UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s announcement of a broad Brexit deal reached with the EC in December offers some reassurance, the really tough free trade negotiations have yet to begin and there is so far little indication that aviation is being prioritized or that the need for urgency is understood.
There is precedent in aeropolitics for operations to continue in the absence of a formal legal arrangement, such as when bilaterals or confidential MoUs expire without agreement about future capacity. What generally happens, the industry executive said, is that air services are frozen at the level they were at before the expiry or cancellation.
But the EU aviation system is completely liberal, so bridging arrangements would pose difficult questions, such as at what level should operations be frozen?
And aviation Open Skies agreements typically take years to accomplish. How will the UK speed through that process in months when it also has to negotiate trade rights for every other industry? There is also the question of what new terms non-UK governments, especially France and Germany, will seek in the new aviation agreements, such as giving UK airlines less access to their markets.
The EU’s Open Skies framework is credited with stimulating Europe’s air traffic growth, especially in the LCC sector. British carriers need access to that market; and the UK is a major market for many European airlines. But they head into 2018 with little-to-nothing accomplished to secure that access.

Analisi anna.aero su quali saranno le dinamiche degli aeroporti UK in caso di 'hard Brexit'.
UK airports and ‘hard Brexit’ – Stansted and Liverpool most exposed
Following our recent article following Ryanair’s application for a UK AOC, anna.aero decided to take a look at which of the UK’s main airports could suffer the largest impact to their networks if the UK were to lose its access to the European Single Aviation Market. The airports currently at risk of losing the most traffic are those with a heavy reliance on non-UK owned LCCs such as Ryanair or Wizz Air. This would put airports like London Stansted, Liverpool, East Midlands and London Luton in the firing line, since they have the highest dependence on EU services as a proportion of their total capacity, with significant seat numbers operated by non-UK based LCCs. Stansted and Liverpool also have among the highest proportion of domestic seats served by non-UK airlines. The detail of where the UK currently is, and where it may end up, with regards to the Single Aviation Market is explained after the following graphs. For those of you that need some light revision, the ‘Freedoms of the Air’ are also explained in full at the end.
EU traffic more important to some UK airports than others
The graph below shows the top 20 largest airports in the UK based on weekly departing seats in S17. The airports are listed in descending order, according to their available capacity. Unsurprisingly, London Heathrow topped the list with 982,717 seats, while Cardiff was the smallest airport with 23,565 seats. There was considerable variation between airports in terms of the importance of EU services as a percentage of overall capacity, when domestic and other international destinations are also included. At seven airports, seats to EU destinations accounted for 80% or more of their total capacity. These were East Midlands (90%), Leeds Bradford (87%), London Stansted (86%), London Luton (83%), Liverpool (81%), Bristol (80%) and Cardiff (80%).
Source: OAG Schedules Analyser. Data is for week commencing 1 August 2017.
Not all of the UK’s leading airports were as dependent on EU services during S17. At seven facilities, EU links accounted for less than half of departing weekly seats. These included Jersey, which saw only 4% of its available capacity depart to EU destinations, followed by Belfast City with 12%, Aberdeen (28%), Heathrow (35%), Belfast International (43%), Southampton (43%), and Glasgow (47%). At most of these seven airports, EU services play second fiddle to domestic links. The exception is Heathrow, where EU and domestic connections are both overshadowed by capacity to other international destinations. The UK’s primary long-haul gateway saw 59% of all seats departing on non-EU international links during the week under analysis.
Stansted, Liverpool, East Midlands and Luton most exposed for EU flights
When each of the top 20 airports’ EU connections are considered by operator, it is possible to identify their potential exposure to a Brexit backlash by highlighting the percentage of seats that could be lost if seventh freedom rights were not maintained. Belfast City would be the most at risk, with 98% of its weekly departing seats to the EU in S17 operated under seventh freedoms. However, since these EU services only amount to a small portion of the airport’s total network, the overall impact of losing these flights might not be felt as keenly as elsewhere. The airports that may be most in the firing line are Stansted, Liverpool, East Midlands and Luton, since these four facilities also witnessed some of highest proportions of seats operated under seventh freedoms to EU destinations in S17. In addition, we have already identified that these four airports each depend on EU links for a high proportion of their overall capacity. Stansted saw 73% of departing weekly seats to EU destinations operated under seventh freedom rights in S17, followed by Liverpool (48%), East Midlands (47%), and Luton (40%). A common theme running through all four airports is that they see significant operations from non-UK LCCs or ULCCs. Stansted is Ryanair’s biggest network base, with the Irish carrier accounting for the vast majority of seventh freedom flights from the airport in S17. Ryanair also serves East Midlands, Liverpool and Luton, with the latter two also playing host to non-UK Wizz Air and Blue Air operations.
Source: OAG Schedules Analyser. Data is for week commencing 1 August 2017.
The other three airports at which EU destinations account for 80% or more of departing capacity are less reliant on seventh freedom services, with 26% of EU-bound seats from Bristol and Leeds Bradford and only 3% from Cardiff, operated under those rights. In total, five airports saw 11% or less of their EU-bound flights operated under seventh freedom rights, with both Heathrow and Southampton witnessing none at all during the week under analysis, making them the least exposed to potential post-Brexit scenarios. At Heathrow this was due to many flights to EU destinations being operated by full-service flag carriers, under more traditional third and fourth freedom rights. At Southampton, Flybe is by far the dominant carrier, accounting for 85% of all services to EU destinations in S17. Since the airline is UK-based, it will operate these flights under third and fourth freedoms.
Stansted would see biggest domestic decline
The table below shows the 20 largest airports in the UK, but this time in descending order according to their departing weekly domestic capacity in S17. Edinburgh offered the most domestic seats, with 65,627 available, compared to 4,230 at Cardiff. Ninth freedom rights are used less extensively than seventh freedoms, with only 8% of the domestic seats available from the top 20 airports being flown by non-UK airlines in S17. The airport that would be most exposed in the event of the removal of ninth freedom rights on domestic services would be Stansted, since 38% of its weekly departing domestic seats in S17 were operated by Ryanair, as the Irish carrier linked London’s third airport to Edinburgh and Glasgow. As a percentage of overall capacity the next most-exposed airport would be Liverpool, since its Flybe-branded links to the Isle of Man are operated by Irish-registered Stobart Air. Ten of the top 20 airports saw no domestic services operated under ninth freedom rights.

RABA on smaller regional airports impact
Other UK airports outside of the top 20 tend to be very reliant on one, or sometimes two operators. Their potential exposure to the worst-case Brexit scenario will therefore depend on whether those carriers rely on seventh and/or ninth freedom rights to provide their services. At Exeter for example, Flybe is the dominant carrier and this contributes to the airport seeing no seventh or ninth freedom services in the week under analysis. In contrast, the schedules at Glasgow Prestwick and Bournemouth are dominated by Ryanair, leaving those facilities far more exposed. All of Prestwick’s seats were flown on seventh freedom services operated by Ryanair, while the Irish carrier also accounted for 74% of Bournemouth’s departing seats to EU destinations.
The 40-strong UK Regional and Business Airports Group (RABA) consequently has a clear interest in the outcome of the eventual Brexit deal. “The UK was at the forefront when the EU’s Single Aviation Market was created, and we managed to convince some instinctively protectionist countries to follow this lead. Many UK regions have not looked back since,” says Neil Pakey, a former air transport negotiator for the European Commission, ex-boss of Liverpool and Shannon airports, and current Chairman of RABA. “When we hear the term ‘hard Brexit’, we know in the aviation context this could lead to one current agreement being replaced in effect by 44 agreements, including an estimated 17 we agreed with other nations as part of the EU. Countries like Ireland, Netherlands and Spain would happily subscribe to continued open skies, but others may see it as an opportunity to protect their national carriers from competition, reducing access to and from their own regional airports, resulting once again in higher air fares. Picking up old bilateral agreements and dusting them down may be a starting point, but most are much more restrictive.
“Many UK regional airports, depend on seventh freedom and ninth freedom traffic,” continues Pakey. “If we don’t manage to stay in the Single Aviation Market, we will be reliant on the bilateral negotiations between the UK and the other member states to deliver these. That is difficult enough at the best of times, without trying to deliver 44 agreements all at once. We encourage all airlines operating to UK regions to communicate with the UK Civil Aviation Authority [CAA] to consider obtaining a UK Air Operator Certificate [AOC] in case of a ‘hard Brexit’ and at least then they will be considered as a third and fourth freedom carrier, which will help. We also support the Department of Transport in its efforts to prepare the ground and hope that we somehow avoid the ‘hard Brexit – no EU agreement’ scenario for aviation.”
Afraid to ask? 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th freedoms explained
Although the UK is likely to remain a part of the EU’s Single Aviation Market through a transition agreement until end-2020, there are still many uncertainties about what will happen to its membership of the Single Aviation Market. Everything depends on whether the UK transitions to a membership of the European Common Aviation Area (ECAA), a regime designed to extend the Single Aviation Market to include non-EU countries like Iceland and Albania, or whether a far more complex series of bilateral air services agreements between the UK and the EU are implemented, with many confining disadvantages for leading airlines and many UK airports.
An integral part of any deal is an understanding of some of the old-fashioned ‘Freedoms of the Air’ which govern international traffic rights but which have not been used in most of Europe for almost 30 years and would have to be used again to construct a new, unique UK-ECAA agreement:
This analysis above looked at which of the UK’s top 20 airports could be most exposed if seventh and ninth freedom capacity is lost. None of the routes identified in this analysis would be covered by fifth freedom rights, so they were not considered. The review is not comprehensive, but gives a strong indicator of which airports could be most affected by a “hardish” Brexit in aviation. It is based on a number of assumptions. Firstly, the analysis of which airlines are operating under which freedom rights only looks at UK domestic services and services to the other 27 EU member states. Services to other qualifying states in the ECAA would also be affected. The schedule data used only covers one week from peak S17; the week commencing 1 August. The analysis is meant to provide a moment in time snapshot and does not account for the countless variables that could develop between now and the UK’s formal exit from the EU, including any subsequent or potential UK AOC applications made by non-UK operators.
The specific freedom rights were identified according to the home country of the operating airline where possible. Flights performed by third-party carriers on behalf of leisure operators were allocated to the leisure airline rather than the wet- or dry-lease provider. However, flights performed by franchisees or ‘white-label’ operators were allocated to the specific operating entity, since these arrangements tend to be longer-term in nature and may need some adjustments if seventh or ninth freedom rights are removed.
Another assumption was to use both Denmark and Sweden as the home market for SAS. It should be noted that as its third home market of Norway is not in the EU it was not necessary to account for this when allocating freedom rights by operating airline in this analysis. Jersey is included because services between the island and the UK are considered domestic, despite the fact that Jersey is a self-governing crown dependency. The Channel Island currently operates an open skies policy with countries in Europe, but this is independent of arrangements between the UK and EU, and it remains to be seen whether it will be impacted in the aftermath of Brexit. It should be noted that routes to and from Gibraltar have not been considered.
Remember this…it might never happen
This analysis is an effective way to highlight the potential vulnerability of some UK airports, if the British government does not find a way to maintain Single Aviation Market access, but the reality is unlikely to be as bleak as the picture painted here. Both Ryanair and Wizz Air have already taken steps to gain UK AOCs which would allow them to operate British-registered aircraft under third of fourth freedom rights. It is also not beyond the realms of possibility that the respective officials in the UK and the other 27 member states of the EU could come to an understanding that allows the status quo to prevail.

- Ninth freedom rights – the right to fly within a foreign country without continuing to one’s own country.

Poi si sono svegliati tutti sudati.
Si pensavano che gli USA avrebbero steso i tappeti rossi, inchinandosi dinanzi alla grandezza dell'Impero Britannico finalmente libero dalle catene dei colonizzatori Europei.
Poi si sono svegliati tutti sudati.

Michael O'Leary scatenato.
Ryanair's Michael O'Leary threatens to ground planes after Brexit to make voters 'rethink' withdrawal
Ryanair is threatening to ground its planes after the UK withdraws from the European Union to persuade voters to "rethink" Brexit.
The Dublin-based carrier's chief executive Michael O'Leary said he wants to "create an opportunity" by making people realise they are "no longer going to have cheap holidays".
He told an audience of airline leaders in Brussels: "I think it's in our interests - not for a long period of time - that the aircraft are grounded.
"It's only when you get to that stage where you're going to persuade the average British voter that you were lied to in the entire Brexit debate.
"You were promised you could leave the EU and everything would stay the same. The reality is you can leave the EU, yes that's your choice, but everything will fundamentally change."
Mr O'Leary warned that there would be a "real crisis" as flights between the UK and the EU are disrupted after Brexit.
He said: "When you begin to realise that you're no longer going to have cheap holidays in Portugal or Spain or Italy, you've got to drive to Scotland or get a ferry to Ireland as your only holiday options, maybe we'll begin to rethink the whole Brexit debate.
"They were misled and I think we have to create an opportunity."
EasyJet chief executive Johan Lundgren, who was on stage alongside Mr O'Leary, interrupted him to say: "If you start grounding your planes, I'm flying."
Carsten Spohr, the boss of German carrier Lufthansa, added: "In theory, if we could use this industry to prove to the British how wrong the decision was, that might be a good thing."
The single market for aviation, created in the 1990s, means there are no commercial restrictions for airlines flying within the EU.
Mr O'Leary has repeatedly warned that airlines will be forced to cancel post-Brexit services from March 2019 if no agreement is reached in the Brexit negotiations by September, because schedules are planned about six months in advance.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said in January that he is confident flights will not be grounded because "it's in the interests of everyone" to maintain the open market for aviation.
