Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to include licensing of pilots, engineers and maintenance organisations in the aviation sector in reciprocal arrangements between the United Kingdom and the European Union.

The Government has been clear that it will work to reset the relationship with Europe, to strengthen ties and tackle barriers to trade. Establishing an effective aviation licensing and approvals regime that supports UK aviation remains a priority for us, and the UK is keen to establish closer cooperation on personnel licensing and maintenance organisation approvals where possible to ease the current burden on UK and EU personnel and industry.
