EU Referendum: The result and aftermath...

I wonder what the business impact would be if it didnt apply.....

Easyjet re-registers in Ireland?

 

[najaB]

Is there any knockon with UK-US flight agreements?

Bermuda III?

Havent a clue......but having just thought about your post, I m guessing it could be a potential minefield if someone wanted to connect from the EU at Heathrow for onward travel to the US. Not having researched it puts me a bit out of my depth on this subject if im honest ...

I can absolutely see easyJet reregistering somewhere. They already have a Swiss operation (that is pretty much indistinguishable to the average traveller), so having a separate EU operation seems likely.

I know Switzerland isnt actually a member of the EU, but I assume opens skies policy applies to them ?

Bear mind this thread was itself a follow-up thread: There was a thread on basically the same topic running for about 6 months before the referendum. That was closed by the mods on the night of the referendum and this thread opened to replace it. So you could argue you'd need to include the (very large) post count for that thread too in the EU-discussion post count (I don't offhand have the URL for it though).

It would be fascinating to see what happens to British Airways too. IAG to move everything EU to Iberia or Aer Lingus?

Does BA have any flights that don't originate or terminate in the UK?

 

[najaB]

Does BA have any flights that don't originate or terminate in the UK?

Only as tag-ons to flights that did, and I'm not even sure they still fly them. They used to use 5th freedom rights to sell seats on the the intra-Caribbean legs of LGW-ANU-BGI and LGW-BGI-POS routes.

 

[AlterEgo]

Does BA have any flights that don't originate or terminate in the UK?

Mainline, not really. They have some subsidiaries like Sun-Air and Comair which operate under their brand though.

 

[miami]

There's Openskies (Paris), Comair (South Africa), Sun-Air (Denmark), and add-on flights outside of Europe, like Singapore-Sydney, Muscat (Oman) to somewhere (Abudhabi?), St Lucia to Trinidad, etc.

Yes they do, ORY-JFK

OpenSkies is not actually British Airways for the purposes of this discussion.

As I alluded to upthread, except the odd fifth freedom leg, BA doesn't really have any operations outside the UK.

Sun Air, Comair, and Openskies all have the BA brand, but none of them are legally British Airways. Sun-Air is merely a brand franchise, as is Comair. Openskies is a subsidiary, but not actually "British Airways". This is the crux of the matter when talking about re-registering.

Meanwhile, there's absolutely nothing racist about this tweet from Leave.EU, oh no no no. Definitely not racist at all.

You have to wonder what might have happened had Leave.EU been chosen as the official Leave campaigners over Vote Leave, who, incidentally, haven't tweeted since the day of the referendum.

Apart from the first part (and the fact that it's being reported to the Met Police) are Leave advocating bringing back the death penalty? And would we get a referendum on that??

Anyhow - whoever wrote and published that tweet should end up in jail, and the result of the referendum overturned (which would show them royally).

If Leave.EU had been at the forefront of the campaign, leave would have lost. No doubt.

The EU Parliament's largest party has called for an EU-wide ban on face veils.

I would imagine Schipol or Frankfurt would become the hub of transatlantic travel if it becomes the case (then there'll be no need for that 3rd runway!!)

In addition to the reasons mentioned in the article, I wonder if there is bitterness in response to the talk coming from America regarding increased "checks" on entry?

Indeed......clearly a lot of issues to arise if London becomes less attractive.

I'm not sure why it should. We can make our own rules about which airlines are able to operate here and I can't see us being restrictive.

If UK aviation interests are harmed at all it is most likely to be our UK-incorporated airlines which operate between two other member states (such as an Easyjet flight between Portugal and Germany).

A friend of mine has been refused an ESTA - has to go for a visa interview. He's been to the US many times on both ESTA and I-visas, but they have recently taken offence to the other visas in his passport (ones gained while working for a previous employer)

Does Europe have a similar ESTA and $14 for USians visiting?

 

[najaB]

No. Not yet.

 

[miami]

No. Not yet.

So our elected representatives are finally getting around to reciprocacy. About time. Brazil's done this for years, perhaps when more Americans are hit they'll begin to take notice as a country - especially when people are arbitarilly denied ESTA and have to spend a day with the family in an embassy 6 hours away and spend best part of £1k for the family to visit (only to be denied boarding anyway - after the groping)

Virtually every single Brexit outcome is going to damage British trade

http://uk.businessinsider.com/bank-of-america-merrill-lynch-post-brexit-trade-deals-2017-4

All but one of the realistic scenarios that could emerge once Britain has formally left the European Union would cause the amount of goods Britain exports to tumble, hurting the country's overall trade picture in the process, according to research from Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Writing in a note last Friday, economists from the US banking giant cited a chart first circulated back on March 13, which illustrates just how big a battle the UK faces to keep its current export levels in the face of leaving the EU.

BAML presents seven separate scenarios, ranging from a "very hard Brexit" - where Britain drops out of the EU without a deal and has to trade using WTO rules - all the way to a "soft Brexit" that includes striking deals with every single country outside the European Economic Area. All but that final scenario would see UK exports fall.
