UK will leave EU aviation safety regulator at end of 2020
ADS has estimated that it would take 10 years and cost up to £40m annually to create a UK safety authority with all the expertise of EASA, against a current contribution to the European agency of £1m to £4m a year."We have been clear that continued participation in EASA is the best option to maintain the competitiveness of our £36bn aerospace industry and our access to global export markets," the trade body said.
Airlines UK, which represents carriers including British Airways, EasyJet and Ryanair, said its members supported continued membership of EASA - but not at the risk of the UK becoming a"dumb follower of EU rules".
