the British airline Easyjet announced Friday requested an air operator’s certificate in another unspecified EU country, with the possibility that the UK leave the EU.
This certificate issued by the regulatory body of the air sector in each country “will allow Easyjet flying across Europe as it does today,” the company said in a statement.
“Pending the outcome of negotiations between the UK and the EU is not clear, easyjet do not need to make structural or operational changes “, the statement said, without mentioning the possibility of a change of venue.
easyjet concentrates most of its activities in Europe and annually transports 70 million passengers , according to their website.
British airlines fear that leaving the EU, which the British claimed by referendum on 23 June, make them lose access to the “single European sky” governed by block in which all carriers member countries will operate under the same conditions.
the announcement of Easyjet matches the background of British investment Fidelity, which transferred 100 employees from London to Dublin, but said the decision was taken before the referendum on June 23.
Many voices warned that leaving the EU would make the City of London, the financial district, lost influence and jobs for places like Dublin, Frankfurt and Paris.
IDA Ireland, the Irish investment agency in the country, said last week he would talk “with potential investors about the implications of the referendum”.
in addition in the hours following the results, the Paris region advertised in the British financial press welcoming new investors.
