Brexit: EU-UK Air Transport AgreementAir Transport Agreement • September 1st, 2020
The air transport industry has been one of the industries hardest hit by the slowdown in commercial activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is, therefore, poorly placed to withstand yet another politically induced storm that is leading to a more restrictive Air Transport Agreement between the EU and UK. Airlines are already laying off thousands of loyal staff, with some airlines unethically using a worldwide pandemic (a temporary phenomenon) to seek deep and permanent cuts to the terms and conditions of those who will survive the job cuts.
