Brexit: There is no WTO default for aviation so UK Government and EU should settle a deal now to give clarity and certainty to citizens and business

BALPA (The British Airline Pilots Association) is urging the EU and UK negotiating teams to come to an early agreement on aviation in the forthcoming talks. During the post-Brexit transition period to the end of 2020 the UK and EU must negotiate new trading arrangements or default to WTO rules. However, there are no WTO rules for aviation and so both the UK and EU must reach a deal for aviation whatever else is happening.
