Touching on Brexit during Cook’s Q3 financial results call, group chief executive Peter Fankhauser said "a lot has been said in recent weeks and there’s clearly a long way to go".
Fankhauser urged politicians both in Westminster and Brussels to “come to a long-term settlement”.
“But let me just make one plea: a plea for common sense, that politicians both sides of the Channel agree now to extend the existing agreements for air traffic rights beyond 2019 – for as long as it takes to come to a long-term settlement. That has to be in everyone’s best interests,” he told reporters.
