Alexandre de Juniac, Iata’s director general and chief executive, said the temporary deal negotiated between the EU and UK to ensure flights continue following Brexit was not enough. He called aviation “the Business of Freedom”.
“The Brexit deadline has come and gone with no separation agreement, but with vital air connectivity between the UK and the Continent maintained for the present,” he said, but warned: “Temporary measures, however, are no substitute for a comprehensive Brexit package that will ensure that the Business of Freedom is able to play its vital role in contributing to the well-being of the region – and the world.”
