Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
Another piece of news that slipped under the radar (  ) in March was this:
Industry Troubled as UK Government Confirms EASA Departure
Quote:
The UK will leave the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on December 31, when the transition period ends for the country’s departure from the European Union (EU). The UK Department for Transport (DfT) confirmed the plans over the weekend in a short statement after transport secretary Grant Shapps unexpectedly shared the news with U.S. publication Aviation Week in a March 6 interview.
The abrupt change in policy dashes the hopes of the UK’s aviation industry, which has collectively expressed a strong preference for staying within the EASA's jurisdiction. Industry groups had hoped that the UK would follow the example of Switzerland, which, despite not being an EU member state, is a part of EASA. The decision raises serious questions about the willingness of leading aerospace manufacturers to keep production in the UK due to potentially burdensome requirements to get separate UK type certification and approvals.
