Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with the relevant EU authorities on ensuring reciprocity of air traffic management systems with the EU after the UK leaves the EU.

The Government ‎recognises the need for UK air traffic management arrangements to remain interoperable with those of the rest of Europe. Safe and efficient air traffic management remains a high priority for Government.

The Government is considering carefully all the potential implications arising for our aviation industry from the UK’s exit from the EU, including the implications for air traffic management.

We have not yet commenced negotiations with the EU on transport, but we are prepared for when they do start.
