Aviation: UK Relations with EU
Asked by: Lord Harper (Conservative - Life peer) Monday 3rd November 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure a level playing field for UK airlines and aviation businesses under current and future air services arrangements with EU member states. Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport) Following the UK’s departure from the European Union (EU), air services arrangements between the United Kingdom (UK) and EU Member States have been governed by the Air Transport chapter of the UK-EU Trade and Corporation Agreement (the TCA). The TCA was negotiated in 2020 and provisions within the Air Transport chapter ensure fair and equal opportunities to access the market for both UK and EU carriers. The Department for Transport engages regularly with the UK aviation industry to understand any market access issues and provide support where necessary.

Aviation: Qualifications
Asked by: Lord Harper (Conservative - Life peer) Monday 3rd November 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have made an assessment of how the absence of reciprocal recognition between the UK Civil Aviation Authority and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency affects the ability of UK-registered aircraft to access maintenance, repair and overhaul services in EU member states, and what steps they are taking to address those constraints. Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport) The Government has been clear that it will work to reset the relationship with Europe, to strengthen ties and tackle barriers to trade. Agreements on UK-EU licensing and maintenance organisation recognition must be established through the Trade and Cooperation Agreement and agreed by the UK-EU Specialised Committee on Aviation Safety. The agenda is being agreed with the EU Commission and will be published in advance of the Specialised Committee on Aviation Safety. The Government is aware of the economic and employment impacts following EU exit, including on personnel licensing and maintenance organisation approvals, and will continue to seek expansions to the Aviation Safety Chapter of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement where appropriate.
