Spain welcomes EU provisional deal to mitigate impact of hard Brexit on airlines

The Spanish government on Thursday welcomed a provisional European Union deal meant to mitigate the impact of a hard Brexit on airlines.

“We have obtained seven months to avoid any problem,” Spanish Industry Minister Reyes Maroto said. “We have more time for the company to decide which changes it opts for.”

Spain’s national flag carrier Iberia is majority-owned by Britain-based Anglo-Spanish group IAG.

Maroto was referring to a provisional deal reached in Brussels to ensure, among other things, that companies can continue to provide scheduled flights for seven months after the date of application of post-Brexit air traffic regulations. – Via Reuters
