Det er vel ennå ikke sikkert hvorvidt det blir Brexit eller ikke. Det kan skje mye ennå før det blir endelig avgjort. Foreløpig er vel utgangen fastsatt til januar i 20, mener jeg å ha lest.

Hvornår er det nu at UK forlader EU?

B

Var det svar til mit A!

Begynner å bli mye som kan gå i riktig retning nå.

B

Ting skjer.

Her er en artikel som blevet skrevet da Brexit var forventet i marts 2019. Men jeg er ikke i tvivl om at det er samme problem blot med en forskydning af kalender-datoer.

Det grundliggende problem er at et luftfartsselskab der flyver indenfor EU/EAA luftrum skal have ejerskab af aktionærer som er i EU/EAA. IAG, EasyJet, Ryan Air og Wizz Air som står med denne udfordring fordi de er børsnoteret i London.

Ved et opkøb af Norwegian kan opkøber tilbyde aktier i sit eget selskab som betaling. Dette giver adgang til en stor gruppe af aktionærer indenfor for EAA området.

EU airlines to get 7 months to adjust ownership post-Brexit

11.02.2019 - 10:07 UTC

The European Union is willing to grant airlines seven months to adjust to the bloc's control and ownership rules after Brexit, The Financial Times has reported.

All airlines will have to adjust its shareholding structure by October 27, 2019, so that the majority of stock remains controlled by EU entities once all British investors cease to be counted as such. If an airline fails to do so, it will lose the status of a European carrier and all associated benefits, such as the access to the EU open sky.

The new regulatory framework is likely to affect both UK-based airlines, such as IAG International Airlines Group member British Airways and easyJet, as well as others, such as Ryanair. The LCC, despite being registered in Ireland, is also listed on the London Stock Exchange and has a significant number of UK-based shareholders.

According to the law currently drafted in Brussels, the airlines will also have to outline their plan to keep a EU Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) to the regulators within two weeks of the law being adopted.

"That plan shall set out, in a complete and precise manner, the measures intended to achieve full compliance with the [EU] ownership and control requirements as from the 27 October 2019 at the latest. Where the air carrier has not presented a plan within the [two-week] time limit, the competent licensing authority shall revoke the operating license," the draft seen by the FT says.

Most of the carriers, including easyJet, Ryanair, and Wizz Air, have already set up subsidiaries with either EU or UK AOCs to preserve traffic rights in both jurisdictions after Brexit. IAG, in turn, is trying to argue with the regulators that due to its registration in Spain it should retain its EU status.

The United Kingdom is due to leave the EU on March 29, 2019.
